ROSES 175 
Perpetual roses. Roses that bloom before school closes 
in the summer and then show a luxuriant growth of 
foliage and buds are most desirable for the school-yard 
lawn, but perpetual roses are usually more satisfactory 
for the home lawn, as they bloom continuously through- 
out the summer. 
The following varieties are all hardy ; they will endure 
the winter without any extra protection. 
The Frau Karl Druschki, sometimes known as the 
white American Beauty, is one of the best varieties. Its 
pure white blossoms make it very desirable. 
The Burbank has a large flower of a soft cherry-red 
color. The blossoms are borne in profusion and have 
good lasting qualities. 
The Helen Gould is a beautifully shaded dark-carmine 
rose. It has a double flower and is considered one of 
the best ever-blooming roses. 
The Eugene Furst has large crimson, velvety flowers 
with shadings of black-red. It is very fragrant. 
On account of the deep, rich crimson flowers the Gen- 
eral Jacqueminot is a great favorite. The flowers are 
beautiful both in bud and in blossom. It is one of the 
hardiest perpetual roses. 
The flowers of the Gruss an Teplitz are large and 
handsome, very fragrant, moderately double, of splendid 
substance, and are produced throughout almost the entire 
growing season. The color is fiery crimson shaded with 
a dark, velvety sheen. The bush is hardy and a sturdy 
grower, often attaining a height of four or five feet.
