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, 1865.) 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, viff. (Hon. G. Bancroft.) Large, globular; deep pink, shaded with carmine; 

 delicious odor; especially desirable for forcing. 50c.

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

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

 of Londonderrj' (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.— T/te 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. 

 GeneralJacqueminot, vig. {Ronselet, 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; growi:h 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." 50c.
