New Hybrid Perpetual Rose, George Arends 



Three New 



HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL 



ROSES 



George Arends, or Pink Frau Karl Uruschki. 



This is a pink, or rather a tender rose-colored form 

 of the popular white Rose, Frau Karl Druschki, 

 possessing not only the noble form, large size and 

 remarkable free-flowering habit of its parent, but 

 in addition to this it is also highly perfumed. We 

 feel confident that this variety will be one of the 

 most popular Roses of the future. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau. We have 

 always recommended the Rose, Ulrich Biun- 

 ner, as such a standard of perfection that we 

 hesitate to compare another variety to it, but 

 this newcomer not only equals but surpasses in 

 size of flower, form and in brilliancy of color, 

 which is of a bright vermilion-red with velvety 

 shadings; a splendid acquisition. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Ludwig Moeller, or Yellow Frau Karl Druschki. In 



this we are assured we have what has long been wished for, 

 a yellow Rose of the same character as Frau Karl Druschki. 

 It is described as a cross between Frau Karl Druschki and a 

 seedling from Marechal Niel. In general character, strong 

 vigorous habit of growth, freedom of flowering, etc., it takes 

 after the former variety, but in color it is a pleasing light 

 yellow. We have not had the opportunity to see this Rose 

 in flower, but it conies to us from a most reliable source and 

 we have, therefore, no hesitancy in recommending it. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. 



One each of the above 3 sorts for $2.00. 



THE TWELVE "BEST" HARDY GARDEN ROSES 



(HYBRID PERPETUALS) 



The twelve varieties listed below are unquestionably the best dozen 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 over- 

 looked, but should be used extensively in conjunction with the other sorts, and especially so in localities where the hardiness of the 

 Hybrid-Tea varieties has not been established. 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, hardiness and general excellence. 



The plants offered are exceptionally heavy two=year=old stock, which will, under ordinary conditions, give 

 a full crop of flowers this season; and while their main crop is produced in June, they frequently produce fine flowers 

 throughout the summer and autumn. The cultural hints given on page 173 should assist the amateur in getting the largest measure 

 of success from these plants. 



In pruning Hybrid Perpetuals cut away all weak growth, 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.

double, fragrant flowers; a strong grower.
