HYBRID PERPETUALS 29 



Dupuy J amain.— k vigorous rose with big cherry-red 

 blooms, which are produced fairly freely in autumn. 



Fisher Holmes.— Quite one of the best of the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals. The crimson blooms are well formed. This 

 variety flowers again in autumn. Seems to thrive best 

 as a standard. In bush form growth is often poor. 



Frau Karl Druschki. — Still the best white rose. The 

 blooms are perfectly formed and pure white. Flowers are 

 produced again in late summer and autumn. Growth is 

 vigorous, and the shoots should be pegged down. 



General Jacqueminot. — A very old rose, but still worth 

 growing. The large, well-formed blooms are of bright 

 crimson. 



Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau. — A comparatively new 

 rose of fine form, and often seen at exhibitions. Growth 

 is fairly vigorous, but the blooms are not freely produced. 

 The colour is bright red. 



Horace Vernet. — A perfect exhibition variety, and 

 indispensable to those who grow for show ; the colour 

 is brilliant red with darker shading. Not recommended 

 for garden display. 



Hugh Dickson.— -The finest of all the Hybrid Perpetuals, 

 and a rose that should be in every garden in the country. 

 It grows very vigorously, and the shoots need pegging 

 down or training along a fence. The blooms are large, 

 of good form, and of rich red or bright crimson colour. 

 They are produced in autumn to some extent. 



Louis Van Houtte. — This is worth growing on account 

 of its intense maroon-crimson colour, which is most vivid. 

 Complaint is often made of its weak growth, but with me
