GROUP XXXII. THE BOURBON PERPETUAL. 



This Group embraces the " Hybrid Perpetuals " of some Catalogues, in which the 

 characters of the Bourbon Rose are strikingly developed. They are generally of 

 dwarf and compact growth, with roundish shining leaflets. They form beautiful 

 objects grown as Dwarfs or Dwarf Standards, and if planted in a rich soil are certain
