CLASS X. 

 HYBRID REMONTANT OR HYBRID PERPET- 

 UAL ROSES. 



[Rosa dainasceiia hybrida.) 



Tiiis class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of 

 growth, the weak shoots closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties 

 are fragrant ; some of them, like Alfred Colomb, Louis Van Houtte, Mme. Victor Verdier, etc., 

 are most deliciously perfumed. 



Although they are st}, led 2)er2^etual bloomers, none of them are such in ideality. 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.
