EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. 



This class includes the most beautiful vari- 

 eties of all Roses and they are amongst the 

 most useful. Too much can scarcely be said 

 in praise of them, either for^bedding out or 

 for pot culture. A bed of them will furnish 

 a display of magnificent and lovely bloom 

 throughout the entire ^season until frost, and 

 the individual flowers are of exqusite form, 

 color and_f ragrance, whether in bud or_open 

 flower, and unsurpassed^^for cutting. They 

 are rapid growers, constant in bloom, and 

 embrace the most charmmg shades of lovely, 

 soft but pure color, with delightfully tea- 

 sented odor. No one need be without these 

 charming Rose^ in abundance ; they being so 

 easily .srown and the plants are to be had at 

 such low cost. 



Bride. Large, very double, pure white, 

 with beautifully formed petals of great sub- 

 stance and delicate perfume. A strong growler 

 and profuse bloomer, succeeding splendidly 

 in the open ground. A universal favorite. 



Bridesmaid. The finest of all pink 

 Roses. Large, of full, fine form, silvery, 

 deep, roby pink. A sport from Catherine 

 Mennet, a stronger grower and of deeper, 

 livelier color. Very popular. 

 Caroline Marniesse. Unsurpassed for bedding ; of low, spreading habit, wonderfully profuse and 

 continuous in bloom, and entirely hardy. The flowers are blush-white and sweetly scented. From the 

 last of May until late in autumn the plants are a mass of bloom. Very des-irable for cemetery planting. 



HELEN GOULD ROSE. 



Clotilde Soupert. None better for out- 

 door planting; very hardy, of compact habit, 

 wonderfully profuse and constant in bloom; 

 Flowers of medium size, very double and per- 

 fectly full, produced in many clusters, pearly 

 white with silvery, rosy lake centre, and deli- 

 cately scented. 



Duchesse de Brabant. A popular old 

 variety of free-flowering habit, producing flowers 

 of soft rosy pink, with silvery edged petals. Es- 

 pecially valuable for its exquisite fragrance. 



Gruss an Teplitz. A free grower and most 

 profuse bloomer, unsurpassed for bedding. The 

 flowers are large and full, bright crimson, very 

 showy^ and handsome, and intensely fragrant- 

 It is one of the best hardy everbloomers and 

 is brilliantly effective . 



Helen Gould. Probably the finest and 

 most beautiful of all Roses for general outdoor 

 culture, by reason of its blooming habit, hardi- 



ness, magnificent color and large, double flowers ; 

 also one of the best for winter blooming. In 

 color it is a soft, rich velvety crimson shaded with 

 carmine. Its superb flowers are unsurpassed for 

 cutting and they are produced incessantly though - 

 out the entire season. See illustration. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A splen 

 did garden Rose by reason of its vigorous growth 

 almost perfect hardiness and fine bloom. The 

 flowers and buds are extra large, perfectly form- 

 ed, profusely borne on long, graceful stems. It 

 is also a splendid winter bloomer. 



Maman Cochet. One of the finest and 

 most valuable of Tea Roses, especially for out- 

 door blooming. The plant is of rapid growth and 

 very free -flowering. Its buds are large and point- 

 ed ; flowers extra large, full and perfectly double, 

 of a clear rich, bright flesh-pink and with the 

 true Tea fragrance. A charming variety in 

 every respect.
