DREER'S SELECT LIST OF ROSES. 



L37 



Hardy Hybrid Perpetual 



F^OSES. 



The list offered comprises all the distinct "^^^^ 

 and really valualile shades. Many sorts 

 have been left out, not because they are of no 

 value, but that the sorts listed are superior in 

 size, hardiness, vigor, productiveness, or some 

 other characteristic that is necessary 

 to make a good Rose. 



Varieties marked with an " *" are 

 grown on their own roots. This class 

 of stock gives much better satisfaction 

 to the general planter than budded oi 

 grafted plants ; however, some of the fine 

 varieties will not produce good plants 

 their own roots. In such cases we offer t 

 best low-budded stock obtainable, pref( 

 ence being given to home-grown st( 

 budded on Manetti, which is the most 

 sirable for our climate. Care should be taken in 

 planting budded stock to set out deeply, planting them 

 at least two inches below the point where budded, v 

 prevents the stock from suckering to a very great extent
