HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



The Most Valuable of all Roses.— The Hybrid Perpetuals are the most valuable of 

 all Roses. They are particularly desirable for cold climates, because they are entirely hardy; 

 also for the South, as they are fully as beautiful, but entirely different from the Ever-Bloom- 

 ing Roses which flourish there so luxuriantly. 



Flowers very Large. — The flowers of this class are very double and of immense size 

 (frequently from five to six inches in diameter), delightful fragrance and of the most gor- 

 geous and dazzling colors, but no shades of yellow. 



Plants are Hardy and Vigorous.— The plants are mostly strong and vigorous grow- 

 ers, requiring but little attention and living on from year to year, though a light covering of 

 straw, leaves or evergreen branches in Winter is always desirable in exposed situations. 

 These are the hardiest Roses, and may be expected to bear safely any reasonable 

 degree of cold. When you plant Hybrid Perpetuals, you may be sure of having Roses 

 every year without further trouble. 



Not Constant Bloomers. — Though called "Perpetual," it must be understood that 

 they are not such early and constant bloomers as the Ever-Blooming Roses. Some varieties 

 do not bloom the first year, but grow strong and get ready for the next. When once estab- 

 lished, they bloom freely at usual time early in the season and continue to bloom at short 

 intervals during the Summer and Autumn months. Like all valuable flowers, they are much 

 improved in size and beauty by rich ground and good cultivation. 



Not Suitable for House Culture. — The Hybrid Perpetuals should always be planted 

 in open ground. They are not suitable for house culture ; the Ever-Blooming, Hybrid 

 Tea, and Polyantha Roses are best for this purpose.
