HARDY PERPETUAL ROSES. 



AMERICAN BEAUTY. This variety has been rightly 

 described an everblooming 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. 



LA FRANCE. We cannot speak too highly of this 

 superb rose, which every year becomes more popular. Flow- 

 ers large and beautiful, either in the bud form or when ex- 

 panded ; peach blossom color, shaded pink and silvery rose. 

 It is very free blooming, every shoot forming- a beautiful 

 flower. In addition to this, it is entirely hardy with a slight 

 protection of leaves, and most deliciousiy fragrant, thus com- 

 bining in a marked degree all the qualities of a perfect rose. 



MRS. JOHN LAING. This is, we believe, the finest 

 hardy rose of its color ever oft'ered. It is an exquisite shade 

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

 and like the Dinsmore, is entirely hardy and ever bloom- 

 ing. No collection of roses is complete if it does not contain 

 Mrs. John Laing. 



GENERAL 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. It is as easy of cultivation as many of 

 the more common varieties; and perfectly hardy. 



_ MAGNA CHARTA. Bright pink, suffused with car- 

 mine; a beautiful rose ; strong, vigorous grower. 



DINSMORE. A vigorous and free blooming rose, pei^ 

 fectly hardy and bearing large perfectly double flowers of a 

 rich scarlet crimson color.

 very large, double, fragrant flowers ; a strong grower. 



BARONESS ROTHSCHILD. A most magnificent 

 hardy rose; flowers about five inches in diameter and of an 

 exquisite shade of satiny pink. The heavy foliage comes 

 close up to the flower, forming an effective background of 

 green. 



GLOIRE DE MARGOTTIN. Dazzling red, the most 

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

 ers; growth 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. Thelovely 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, which emit a delightful odor. They bloom 

 nearly the whole summer, and are covered during autumn 

 and winter with bright red seed pods.
