Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



Shrubs of vigorous, upright growth, with large 

 double flowers which sometimes measure 4 to 5 

 inches across. They are very hardy plants, and 

 thrive in almost all localities. It is recommended 

 that a protection of leaves or straw litter be afforded 

 in the colder portions of the country. They are 

 among the most valuable and beautiful of all the 

 Roses. As to pruning, they 

 should be cut back moder- 

 ately, or if 

 very long 



stems are ^H ^T ^
