DIVISION II. 

 PERPETUAL OR AUTUMNAL ROSES 



Blooming Continually, or at Intervals from June to November 



CLASS I.— HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



This class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of growth, the weak shoots 

 should be closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties are fragrant; some of them, like Alfred 

 Colomb, Mme. Victor Verdier, etc., are most deliciously perfumed. 



Although they are styled perpetual bloomers, none of them are such in reality. However, many of them yield a fair 

 second crop of flowers in the Autumn, which is very acceptable. Aside from this, there is no class, take it all in all, so 

 popular and which gives such general satisfaction. 



Alfred Colomb, free. (Lacharme, I860.) Brilliant carmine crimson; very large, full, and of fine 

 globular form ; extremely fragrant, and in every respect a superb sort; foliage large and hand- 

 some. One of the most useful of all sorts for general cultivation. 50c. 



American Beauty, vig. (Hon. G. Bancroft.) Large, globular; deep pink, shaded with carmine; 

 delicious odor ; especially desirable for forcing. 50c. 



Anne de Diesbach, vig. (Lacharme, 1858.) Carmine, a beautiful shade; very large. A superior 

 garden sort; fragrant; one of the hardiest. Valuable for forcing. 50c. 



Baron de Bonstetten, vig. (Liabaud, 1871.) Rich velvety maroon; large, full. A splendid sort. 50c. 



Baroness Rothschild, mod. or dnf. (Pernet, 1867.) Light pink; cupped form; very symmetrical ; 

 without fragrance. Very distinct and beautiful; one of the finest exhibition varieties; very hardy 

 and a late bloomer. 50c. 



Captain Hayward, vig. (Bennett, 1894.) Flowers very large; color bright carmine crimson; vigorous 

 and free-flowering. 50c. 



Charles Lefebvre, free or mod. (Lacharme, 1861.) Reddish crimson, very velvety and rich, but 

 fading quickly; large, full and beautifully formed. Foliage and wood light reddish green; few 

 thorns of light red. A splendid rose. 50c. 



Clio, vig. (Wm. Paul $ Son, 1895.) Flowers large, in clusters, of fine globular form, flesh-color 

 shaded in the center with rosy pink; growth vigorous; handsome foliage. One of the best 

 roses. 50c. 



Countess of Oxford, mod. (Guillot-pere , 1869.) Bright carmine, fading in the sun; very large and 

 full; not fragrant. Wood almost thornless ; foliage very handsome, large and distinct. Fine in 

 the bud; valuable for forcing. 50c. 



Earl of Dufferin, vig. {A. Dickson <|- Sons, 188 f.) Rich brilliant velvety crimson, shaded with dark 

 maroon; large, full, finely formed; delightful fragrance. A vigorous grower. One of the 

 finest dark roses. It should be in every collection. 50c. 



Eugene Furst, vig. {Son pert § Kotting , 1876.) Velvety crimson shaded with deep crimson; large 

 and full, of good shape; fragrant. A fine dark Rose; best in Autumn. 50c. 



Fisher Holmes, free or rig. (E. Verdier, 1865.) Deep glowing crimson; large, moderately full, and 

 of fine imbricated form. A superb rose. 50c. 



Francois Levet, vig. (A. Leret, 1880.) Cherry red; medium size; well formed; very free bloomer. 

 Valuable on account of its vigorous habit. 50c. 



Francois Michelon, free. (Levet, 1871.) Deep carmine rose; very large, full, and of fine globular 

 form; fragrant and a free bloomer. Habit very erect. A distinct, choice sort; excellent late in 

 June and July, when other varieties are gone, and also in the Autumn. 50c. 



Frau Karl Druschki (Snow Queen), vig. (P. Lambert, 1900.) Flowers very large, beautiful, pure 

 white. This is the best white Hybrid Perpetual yet introduced and one of the best novelties of 

 recent years. 50c. 



Of the varieties distributed in 1900, Frau Karl Druschki, although new to the analysis, takes up a position at No. 

 17. This is in itself a remarkable performance for any new rose, and only shows what a general favorite with 

 exhibitors this beautiful pure white, H. P. has already become. Years ago we had to be content with Mme. 

 Lacharme, which came out as a H. P. in 1873, and since then we have welcomed in turn Mabel Morrison (1878), 

 Violette Bouyer (1881), Merveille de Lyon (1882), White Baroness (1888), Margaret Dickson (1891), and Marchioness 

 of Londonderry (1893) , but none nearly as warmly as we now welcome this sterling acquisition— Frau Karl Druschki. 

 In the first place it is pure white, which none of its predecessors can lay claim to be, added to which it has a good 

 vigorous habit, and is, moreover, one of the freest flowering, if not the most continuous flowering, of all the H. P's. 

 The raiser of this remarkable Rose— and all honor to him— is Peter Lambert of Trier, in Germany.— The Garden, 

 London. 



" It is universally admitted to be the best white Hybrid Perpetual in cultivation." 

 Unmistakably this Rose is the finest novelty of the last few years.— The Garden, London. 



General Jacqueminot, vig. (Rouseht, 1853.) Brilliant crimson; not full, but large and extremely 

 effective ; fragrant, and of excellent hardy habit ; forces well. 50c. 



Hugh Dickson, vig. (Hugh Dickson, 1904.) "Intense crimson, shaded scarlet; very large, full, 

 and magnificent form, with high pointed center; growth upright and vigorous, free and continu- 

 ous bloomer; the finest of all Autumn roses, very highly perfumed. Awarded the Gold Medal of 

 the National Rose Society of England. Finest rose of its color." $1.00.
