The "ImpMshabl^' Collection 4^1 



twelve Hybrid Perpetual Roses named below are un- 

 equaled in their class, combining the greatest variety of form, 

 richness of color, and freedom of bloom, which it is possible to 

 get in that number. The first and second sizes should bloom 

 this year, and the third next year. 



ANNA DE DIESBACH 



Rich carmine. A grand Rose. This fine variety is most useful 

 either for garden purposes or for growing in pots in greenhouses. 

 Very free-blooming; fine long stems, so that it is very well adapted 

 for cutting in summer. 



CLIO 



A very vigorous grower; has large, handsome foliage. The color 

 is delicate satin-blush, with a light shading of rosy-pink at the 

 center. 



DINSMORE 



A splendid bedding Rose, as free-blooming as the "Monthly"; 

 dwarf branching habit. Dazzling scarlet-crimson; full and double; 

 rich, spicy fragrance. 



Frau KARL DRUSCHKI 



Splendid buds and immense flowers. 4 to 5 inches across; per- 

 fectly double and delightfully fragrant; large thick petals; very 

 durable and handsome. Bright, shining green leaves, ele- 

 gantly veined; a healthy, vigorous grower, entirely hardy, 

 and a constant and abundant bloomer. The most beau- 

 ful and largest snow-white Rose now before the public. 

 (See engraving.) 



Gen. JACQUEMINOT 



The most popular hardy crimson Rose ever introduced. It is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, entirely hardy; an early and abundant 

 bloomer. Its brilliant crimson is the standard of color by which 

 other Roses are judged; flowers full and fragrant, popularly called 

 the "Jack" Rose. 



HUGH DICKSON 



A rich, deep crimson, shaded scarlet; intermediate tones 

 added give a brilliant effect. An exceptionally fine red Rose. 

 Rich and spicy fragrance; a vigorous grower and free bloomer. 



JUBILEE 



The grandest hardy dark red Rose yet offered. The 

 flowers are very large, the fragrance strong and spicy. The 

 color is pure red in its deepest tone, shading to deep crimson-red 

 with velvety-maroon in the depths of the flowers. It is the dark- 

 est combined with pure color of which nature is capable. 



LA FRANCE 



Peach-blossom color, shaded pink and silver-rose. The flowers 

 are large and beautiful either in the bud form or when fully ex- 

 panded. It is very free-blooming, every shoot forming a beautiful 

 flower and most deliciously fragrant. 



MAGNA CHARTA 



This fine hardy Rose is distinguished alike for its vigorous, 

 healthy constitution, freedom of bloom and handsome foliage. 

 Flowers bright, deep pink; very large and fragrant. A popular 

 Rose. {See engraving) 



Mrs. JOHN LAING 



Rich satiny-pink, large and full; delicious fragrance. This fine 

 variety cannot be too highly praised. For freedom of bloom it is 

 unsurpassed in its class. {See engraving.) 



PAUL NEYRON 



Probably the largest of all Roses. Color, clear, dark pink shaded 

 carmine. Form of flowers, bold and handsome; very fragrant. 



ULRICH BRUNNER 



A beautiful hardy Rose in flower and foliage. The former is 

 large and cupped; bright cherry-red, and very fragrant. Long 

 flower stalks almost devoid of thorns.
