PETER HENDERSONS PLANT CATALOGUE. 



61 



The Monthly, or ever-blooming sorts, undoubtedly give better satisfaction than the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals— flowering continually— but not being hardy north of Maryland, require protection 

 (which is best done by covering the roots in December with leaves or coarse litter, to about six 

 inches in depth). The Hybrid Perpetuals are perfectly hardy, but do not bloom, as their names 

 would indicate, perpetually, giving only one profuse bloom in June, and a partial bloom through- 

 out the summer. 



All, with but few exceptions, are grown on their own roots, from cuttings of the young wood, 

 they are healthy plants, that have never been forced, and are grown in pots. 



We would here take occasion to state the great advantage to the buyer to get Roses that have 

 been grown in pots. The fact of their having been so grown in no way affects their hardness, but 

 on the contrary, enables them to grow with vigor from the time they are planted, while those 

 lifted from the open ground take half the summer before they commence to root, many of them 

 dying outright. We never sell Roses from the open ground unless especially ordered, and never 

 do so without warning the purchaser of the risk of failure. 



Purchasers will always do better to leave the selection to us as far as possible, not only as a 

 rule getting better plants, but besides, greater distinction of varieties. 



For new Monthly and Hybrid Perpetual Roses, see pages 17-18.

ROSES FIGURED IN COLORED PLATE OF 1875. 



This set of twelve Roses are new or scarce sorts, the whole having been selected as a dozen 

 varieties having the greatest contrast in color, combining, at the same time, free flowering quali- 

 ties, either for summer or winter blooming. They are mostly Tea Roses, and are consequently 

 ever-blooming. We have never before sent out any set of Roses that we think will be so satis- 

 factory as these. We may state, that when not wanted for winter-flowering, a covering of six 

 inches of dry leaves or straw around tne roots, put on in December, will preserve them through 

 the winter in the Northern States ; in most of the Southern States they will be hardy without 

 covering.
