Hardy Everblooming Roses 



Especially useful for planting in beds and borders. They are more graceful in habit than the so-called 

 Hybrid Perpetual Roses, and though not so strong growing, they flower without intermission from early 

 in June until late autumn. With but few exceptions, they are beautiful in bud and dehghtf ully fragrant ; hence 

 excellent for cutting. Although nearly all of them are hardy in the latitude of New York City, a few require 

 a hght winter protection; and all are benefited by it. 



The shock caused by planting in the open ground is so great to this class of roses when taken from the 

 nursery row, that several weeks, or even months, are required for them to recuperate. To avoid this shock 

 and thus secure flowers in June and also to avoid failures in transplanting, I grow my plants in five- and 

 six-inch pots. These plants when moved to the grounds of my patrons continue to grow without a check 

 and it is rare indeed that one "goes back," i. e., fails to grow. As Hardy Everblooming Roses grown on 

 their own roots are much superior to budded plants, all things. considered, I now grow and send out plants 

 grown upon their own roots almost exclusively. 



I offer but one grade — large, strong, vigorous plants, in jive- and six-inch pots; many with buds and blos- 

 soms, which are by far too large to be sent by mail. I do not sell the Httle plants from Mttle pots — the kind 

 usually sent out — at all.
