THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL 



A large and important division of the Rose family, distinguished bv vigorotis gro'u-th, abmidant luxuriant 

 foliage, immense lloom great hardiness and most intense and agreeable f ragi'ance. Ther succeed well wherever 

 Roses can be grown at all. and owing to theii- strong and robust habit are best suited for outdoor cultme. They 

 are of easy cultm-e and will thi-ive with but little care, but are much improved by clean cultivation and liberal 

 manuring. A slight protection, such as is afforded by a covering of straw or some evergreen boughs, is benefi- 

 cial. In the spring all weak and imperfect shoots should be cut out and all the branches shortened one half or 

 more. Vigorous new shoots will soon be thrown up. each crowned with magnificent blooms. The largest flowei-s 

 and the most glowing and intense colors are found among the Hybrid Perpetuals. Few of them are in reality 

 pei-petual bloomers. All flower profusely in early summer and again more moderately in the fall.
