ROSES 345 



Hybrid Perpetuals 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are the best known garden Roses, but 

 they are often less satisfactory than the Hybrid Teas because they 

 become unsightly after blooming. In many cases the blooms appear 

 in June, a trifle earlier or later, according to locality, and if not 

 given best care will stop blooming. By cutting the blooms properly 

 and with good culture some of the kinds give a few scattering blooms 

 in Autumn.

Forcing Hybrid Perpetuals. Before forcing Hybrid Perpetuals 

 the plants should be lifted when the growths are matured, pruned 

 back, potted firmly and placed in a coldframe. Plunge the pot 

 among leaves, if there is a probabiUty of their making a few roots 

 before freezing weather without the buds starting into growth. 

 Plunging will keep the roots safe and in a condition ready for active 

 work. When brought into a cool house in the early part of the year, 

 they need to be brought on very gradually so as to have feeding 

 roots when the buds break. An examination of the roots will show 

 when it is safe to force growth by giving gentle heat.
