HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



THE DEPENDABLE HARDY JUNE BLOOMERS 



This family of Roses are perfectly at home in the North because they are 

 very hardy, though winter protection will not hurt them a bit. A few of them, 

 like Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, George Arends, and some others, 

 do bloom again in the autumn or late summer, but the majority do not deserve 

 the name Perpetual as to bloom. No word, however, can describe their 

 appearance in June, when they burst like silent fireworks, glorifying the 

 garden with a profusion of giant, fragrant Roses, radiant in white and red and 

 pink. There are no rehable yellows. 



This class is not so Hable to black-spot as are the Pernetianas, but some 

 kinds, Hke General Jacqueminot, Ulrich Brunner, and Magna Charta, and 

 even Frau K. Druschki, will be bothered with both mildew and black-spot 

 if these diseases are prevalent near by and unchecked. 



During the weeks of June and early July, the Hybrid Perpetuals produce 

 far more flowers than any everblooming sort, and almost all of them can be 

 made to bloom in the fall by proper pruning and feeding, but they are alto- 

 gether worth while for their unique June splendor alone. In this class are 

 found the noblest red Roses, filled to the brim with true Rose perfume, and 

 old varieties as rich in their heri- 

 tage of sentiment as in beauty. Frau Karl Druschki. The finest
