Hybrid Perpetuals, continued 



Like the Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals must be rejuvenated each year by proper pruning. This means 

 cutting out at the base all wood over one year old, or two at the most, the remaining canes being shortened, 

 bearing in mind that the lower the cut, the more beautiful the blooms will be. Some even suggest cutting 

 about 15 inches from the ground for vigorous varieties, and 8 to 10 inches for less rampant ones. So 

 treated, when in bloom each plant will be a gigantic bouquet. Cut the blooms with long stems and

•ANNA DE DIESBACH (Gloire de Paris). Car- 

 mine-pink of a beautiful shade; flowers are extra 

 large, full, and very sweet. The plant is vigorous, 

 very hardy, and blooms profusely in June. If the 

 flowers are picked with long stems and the bloom- 

 stems are pruned low, it will likely bloom again in the 

 fall. Enormous, double-hearted flowers can often 

 be picked from this glorious old Rose. A variety 

 especially adapted for growing in the North. $1 each. 



•ANNIE CRAWFORD. Bright pink. Vigorous- 

 growing and an almost continuous bloomer in bright 

 pink with deeper veins; sweetly perfumed. Blooms 

 in clusters, but if disbudded, the remaining buds 

 will attain very large size. Has long stems, excellent 

 for cutting. Specially adapted to form hedges, or as 

 a mate to Gruss an Teplitz. $1 each. 



•GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. Clear red. Stan- 

 dard of color for years, the clear red is just as 

 bright today as seventy years ago. The plant is 

 very hardy, but needs quite careful attention in 

 thinning and pruning if the best-formed frag- 

 rant flowers are wanted, but many people let it 

 grow at will and make a big, brave bush that 

 blazes like a bon- ^ <^ -^ 



fire. Blooms in yr. ^"^^^^ 



June and some- 

 times again. $1 ea. 



•FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. See illustration. 

 Universally acclaimed as one of the best white Roses 

 in existence. It is snow-white. Its buds are un- 

 usually long for its class and are often shaded pink, 

 but they open into immense and perfectly double 

 flowers often more than 4 inches across, and with 

 waxy petals that are very durable, but, unfortu- 

 nately, scentless. If disbudded, the flowers which are 

 allowed to mature will prove an immense satis- 

 faction. The plant is a strong and vigorous grower, 

 making branches from six to eight feet high in a 

 season. Care should be taken to check its tendency 

 to mildew. It does best with but moderate pruning, 

 and it has the admirable habit of blooming almost 

 continually when once established, so that it is 

 dependable for white Roses from early June until 

 frost. Many candidates for its place have appeared, 

 only to increase the continued popularity of this 

 great variety. $1 each. 



•GLOIRE DE CHEDANE-GUINOISSEAU. Ver- 

 milion-crimson. Long buds and open, full, large 

 blooms, perfectly formed and deliciously fragrant. 

 Color is vermilion-crimson, turning to pure crimson- 

 red. The bush is compact and not so exuberant in 

 growth as some other Hybrid Perpetuals. In form, 

 the bloom is ideal and it lasts long when cut. Grow 

 this Rose to produce prize-winning blooms at your 

 local flower show. $1 each.

•HENRY NEVARD. New. Crimson- 

 scarlet. See illustration in color on 

 inside back cover. The large, ovoid 

 bud becomes an extremely double, per- 

 fect bloom of old-fashioned form. It is 

 very lasting and unusually fragrant. 

 The foliage is abundant and a beautiful 

 dark green, making a splendid setting 

 for the big red blooms. If pruned short 

 in the spring and the blooms cut with 

 long stems, it will be an almost con- 

 tinuous bloomer. It sometimes mil- 

 dews in late autumn, but is well 

 worth protecting. An example of a 

 greatly improved modern Hybrid 

 Perpetual. $1.50 each.
