REMONTANTES.—Tue Hyzrip Perpetvat Rose. 
This magnificient class of roses are very strong growers, gen- 
erally producing very large flowers, perfect in form, combining 
nearly every color, and possessing a delightful fragrance. They 
are not, however, true to their name, as they generally bloom but 
two or three times during the season, when strong new shoots 
spring up. Their chief merit is the true old-fashioned character 
of the flowers—large and fragrant as the Damask rose. Some few 
are very free bloomers, and all are perfectly hardy. By cutting 
off the larger proportion of their first buds, and a few of their 
shoots back, they will flower in full perfection. Encouragement 
should be given to their growth by the addition of compost in the 
fall, well dug in. If their roots be watered in dry seasons, as de- 
tailed under the head of ‘‘ Watering,” once or twice a week, it 
will greatly promote both the growth and blooming of the plant.
