■Hardy Perpetual Hoses. 



AMERICAN BEAUTY. Tliis variety has been rightly 

 described an ever-blooming Hybrid Perpetual. The flowers 

 are very large, of beautiful form and very double; color a 

 deep, rich rose. The fragrance is delightful, resembling La 

 France or the old-fashioned Damask Rose. It is truly an 

 ever-bloomer, each shoot producing a bud. 



liA FRANCE. We cannot speak too highly of this 

 superb rose, which every year becomes more popular. 

 Flowers large and beautiful, either in the bud form or when 

 expanded ; peach blossom color, shaded pink and silvery 

 rose. It is very free blooming, every shoot forming a beauti- 

 ful flower. 



MRS. JOHN I.AING. This is, we believe, the finest 

 hardy rose of its color ever offered. It is an exquisite shade 

 of shell-like pink, deliciously fragrant, of the largest size, 

 and, like the Dinsmore, is entirely hardy and ever-blooming. 



MAGNA CHARTA. Bright pink, suffused with car- 

 mine; a beautiful rose ; strong, vigorous grower. 



GBNERAt JACQUEMINOT. Rich velvety crimson, 

 changing to scarlet crimson. A magnificent rose, equally 

 beautiful in the bud state or open. This is the best known 

 of all Hybrid Perpetuals, and is without a rival in fragrance 

 and richness of color. 



DINSMORE. A vigorous and free blooming rose, per- 

 fectly hardy, and liearing large perfectly double flowers of a 

 rich scarlet crimson color. 



GtOIRE DE MARGOTTIN. Dazzling red, the most 

 brilliant yet known ; large, full, finely formed globular flow- 

 ers; growUi very vigorous ; one of the most distinct hardy 

 garden roses in cultivation, and can be especially recom- 

 mended for its freedom of blooming and hardiness. 



ROSA RUGOSA. The lovely Romanas or Rugosa Roses 

 form sturdy bushes three to five feet in height, covered with 

 handsome, glossy green foliage, and clusters of beautiful 

 single flowers. They bloom nearly the whole summer, and are 

 coveredduringautumnand winter with bright red seed pods.
