HYBRID PERPETUALS 



These embrace the great bulk of the most showy and gorgeous flowers of June, and 

 are the hardiest and the largest-flowered roses. With few exceptions, however, they are 

 not " perpetual " bloomers in America, flowering, as a rule, only in the early summer. 

 The special exceptions are noted below by the (f) sign. The group is a nondescript one, 

 embracing many sections, but conveniently considered as one culturally. All will stand 

 severe pruning. For the (*) sign see Note on page 307. 



ALFRED COLOMB (H. P.). Bright red. Flowers large, full and semi- 

 globular, with high centre. Blooms rather late in June. Fragrant. 

 A first-rate rose. Good grower. Prune back hard.
