The June Roses 



There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual 

 Roses, or "June Roses," as they are sometimes 

 called, are the most valuable of all hardy plants. 

 They are of vigorous, upright growth, have large 

 bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 to 6 inches 

 in diameter, and are deliciously fragrant. These 

 Roses will succeed in any locality and are so 

 hardy that they will live through the severest 

 winters with but a light protection of leaves or 

 coarse manure. Some of the kinds do not bloom 

 until the second year, but, when fully established, 

 they all bloom freely at the usual time, early in the 

 season. The Hybrid Perpetuals will stand hard- 

 ship and neglect, but give much better results with 

 good cultivation and rich soil. Always plant in 

 open ground, as these Roses are not suitable* for 

 house culture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals 

 by far the best in the country. The plants we 

 send out are strong and hearty and on own roots. 



Mad. Alfred Carriere 



Extra -large, full flowers; very double and sweet; 

 rich creamy-white, faintly tinged with pale yellow. 

 *ANNA DE BIESBACH (Glory of Paris) — Most 



lovely brilliant carmine; long, pointed buds, and 

 • large, finely formed, compact flowers; very full 



and double and delightfully sweet. A vigorous 



grower and fine bloomer.

of the best, if not the best, hardy, vivid crimson 



Rose; large, very double and sweet. 



>lii«i. \lfred Camere. 



Paul Neyron 



The flowers are immense; probably the largest and finest 

 Rose; bright, shining pink; clear and beautiful; very double 

 and full; finely scented; blooms the first season and all 

 summer; no collection is complete without this variety. 

 LOUIS VAN HOUTTE — Brilliant vinous cr^'m^^on; large, 

 full and fragrant; an excellent sort and one that we 

 recommend most highly. One of the most beautiful 

 Roses we have ever seen. 

 *FRANCOIS LEVET — One of the best and most satisfac- 

 tory of all Hybrid Roses; we recommend it highly for 

 general planting. An unusually vigorous grower, and 

 free-blooming. Large, finely made flowers almost the 

 size of Paul Neyron; cherry-pink, delicately shaded car- 

 mine and blush. 

 ♦GENERAL JACQUEMINOT — Bright, shining crimson, 

 rich and velvety; exceedingly brilliant and handsome; 

 makes magnificent buds and flowers and is one of the best 

 and most desirable Roses for open ground. 

 GENERAL WASHINGTON — Bright, shining crimson flow- 

 ers, large and perfectly double; blooms the first season 

 and almost constantly. 

 ♦EUGENE FURST — Strong, vigorous grower, with thick, 

 healthy foliage. Flowers beautiful, velvety crimson, 

 shading to maroon. Highly scented with the same de- 

 lightful perfume as some of the Tea Roses. In every 

 way a most valuable Rose.
