DIVISION II.— PERPETUAL OR AUTUMNAL ROSES. 



BLOOMING CONTINUALLY, OR AT INTERVALS FROM JUNE TO NOVEMBER. 



CLASS I. 



HYBRID REMONTANT OR HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



( Rosa damascena hybrida.) 



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, Louis Van Hotctte, Mme. Victor Verdier, etc., are most deliriously 



perfumed. 



Although they are styled per- 

 petual 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.

 1875.) Velvety crimson

 ter form and finish than

 thorns; foliage large and 

 handsome. One of the 

 most useful of all sorts 

 for general cultivation.
