Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 



These constitute a very striking and distinct family of Roses, the members of which are distinguished 

 from all others by their luxuriant ioliage, prodigious blooms and vigor of growth, a bush during the course 

 of a few years attaining considerable proportions. As a class they do not bloom until thoroughly estab- 

 lished, which is usually not until the second year after planting. They are quite hardy and succeed well 

 in all localities where the conditions are favorable to the growth of other vegetation. Owing to their robust 

 habit they are suitable for outdoor culture only, in which situation they will thrive with very little care or 

 attention, but are improved by liberal manuring and by cutting out dead and unthrifty wood. If perma- 

 nency is the principal characteristic desired, that quality is a feature of the class. Many of the varieties con- 

 tained in the following list are Autumnal bloomers, a few of which are : Alfred Colomb, Caroline de Sansal, 

 Baroness Rothschild, Baronne Prevost, General Washington, John Hopper, La Reine, Louis Van Houtte, 

 Mad. Charles Wood, Mabel Morrison, Paul Neyron and Victor Verdier. These kinds are entirely hardy.
