THE DING-BE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Hjlbdy Hybrid Perpetual Hoses. 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the most valuable of all Roses. They are distinguished by their 

 vigorous, upright growth and large, bold flowers ; and being entirely hardy, they are particularly valuable 

 for planting in the Middle and Northern States. They also do well and are highly esteemed in the South. 

 The flowers are very, large, frequently measuring five to six inches in diameter. They are exceedingly 

 fragrant, and of the most gorgeous and dazzling colors, except yellow. Though called Perpetuals, very few 

 are constant bloomers. Some varieties do not bloom until the second year, but when fully established they 

 all bloom freely at the usual time early in the season, and some sorts continue to bloom at short intervals 

 during the Summer and Autumn months. Being of vigorous and hardy growth, they will bear a good deal 

 of hardship and neglect, and are sure to bloom every year without much trouble, but, like all valuable 

 flowers, they are much improved in size and beauty by rich ground and good cultivation. They do very 

 nicely set with shrubbery and other plants in borders, or in masses or beds in yard or lawn, and are highly 

 valued and largely used wherever beautiful Roses are known. They should always be planted in open 

 ground, as they are not suitable for house culture — the Tea Roses, Hybrid Teas and Polyanthas are best for 

 this purpose. The Hybrid Perpetuals are considered among the hardiest of all Roses, and when fully 

 established may be expected to bear ordinary Winters without injury, but, when convenient, a light covering 

 of leaves, straw or evergreen branches, put on before freezing, is always an advantage.
