THE DING-EE & OONARD COMPANY'S 



Moss and Perpetual Moss Roses. 



The Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, 

 and therefore justly esteemed as very desirable for outdoor culture 

 in open ground. Most varieties bloom but once in the season, 

 and usually not the first year, but the flowers and buds are very 

 large and handsome ; they remain in bloom a long time, and are 

 highly prized wherever beautiful Roses are known. Moss Roses 

 ^^ like rich ground, and are much improved in beauty and fragrance 

 |pg? by liberal manuring and good cultivation, but they bear hardship 

 and neglect well, and always bloom profusely. They are suitable 

 for planting with shrubbery and other plants in beds and borders, 

 and also singly in lawn or dooryard. Like the Hybrid Perpetuals 

 they are highly valued because of their permanency.
