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. 



Although they are styled perpetual bloomers, none of them 

 are such in realitj'. However, many of them yield a fair sec- 

 ond 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.

 very large, full, and of fine globular form;
