FOR THE HOME BEAUTIFUL 63 



this summer, and this new growth will flower pro- 

 fusely the coming spring. 



Hybrid Perpetuals do not require the severe 

 pruning accorded the Hybrid Teas, but should be 

 cut back somewhat, and old canes and dead wood 

 cut away. In the early spring, right before new 

 growth starts, again cut back your Hybrid Teas 

 severely, just as you did when first planted in the 

 beds, but leaving a portion of the previous seasons' 

 growth.
