Three New Hardy Hybrid Perpetual 
ROSES 
George Arends, or Pink Frau Karl Druschki. 
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 
remarkably 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, 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 
Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau. We have 
always recommended the Rose, Ulrich Brunner, 
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 Meller, or Yellow Frau Karl 
Druschki. We offered this for the first time 
last year under the European growers’ descrip- 
tion that it was what has long been wished for, 
a yellow Rose of the same character as Frau Karl 
Druschki, and while we have only seen one flower 
of it, which, while not as deep in color as we had 
hoped, it was a pretty shade of amber-yellow and 
entirely distinct from all other Hybrid Perpetual 
varieties. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each. 
One each of the above 3 sorts for $2.50. 
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 the main crop is produced in June, they frequently produce fine flowers 
throughout the summer and autumn. The cultural hints given on page 170 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.
