New Hybrid -Perpetual Rose 

 Mme. Albert Barbier 



(Barbier Bros. 1925) 



It has been some years since we ofEered anything new 

 in Hybrid-Perpetual Roses, in fact, the hybridizers of 

 the Rose world seem to have devoted their studies and 

 energies entirely to other types, particularly to Hybrid- 

 Tea and Pernetiana hybrids and when the orginators 

 sent us this variety for trial, we did not realize what a 

 pleasant surprise was in store for us. 



The seed parent of this beautiful Rose is the inter- 

 national favorite, Frau Karl Druschki, and possessing 

 the same vigor and sturdiness, but of dwarfer more 

 compact habit, naturally forming a shapely bush of 

 free flowering qualities, in this respect surpassing all 

 other Hybrid-Perpetual Roses, being almost a perpetual 

 bloomer. 



The medium size flowers are of beautiful imbricated 

 form with perfect buds developing into well-formed, 

 full, double flowers of a pearly white suffused with a . 

 soft flesh pink, intensified and illuminated by the golden 

 yellow base of the petals. 



This Rose is offered exclusively by us this season, we 

 cheerfully recommend it feeling sure that it will become 

 one of the popular garden Roses. Strong two-year old 

 plants, f 1.50 each. 



Sixteen Best Hardy Garden 



Hybrid-Perpetual Roses 



The varieties listed below are unquestionably the 

 best that can be selected in the Hybrid-Perpetual class, 

 which, before the development of the Hybrid-Teas, was 

 the most popular type for garden planting, and even now they 

 dare not be overlooked, but should be used extensively in con- 

 junction with the other sorts, and especially so in localities where 

 the hardiness of the Hybrid-Tea varieties has not been estab- 

 lished. The collection here offered embraces as complete a 

 range of colors as it is possible to bring together in such a number 

 of plants, with freedom of flowering, perfect form, fragrance, hardi- 

 ness and general excellence. 



In pruning Hybrid-Perpetuals cut away all weak growths, 



and if quality of bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes to 



'within 8 or 9 inches of the ground, but if quantity of bloom for 



garden effect is desired, leave these canes from 2 to 3 feet high, 



according to their strength.
