Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 



M 



OF SPECIAL MERIT. 



YBRID PERPETUALS are considered the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are distinguished by 

 their vigorous, upright growth and large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter. They 

 thrive and succeed in all localities and are entirely hardy in any part of the country, and will live through 

 severe Winters with a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. Some varieties do not bloom until the second 

 year, but when fully established they all bloom freely at the usual time, early in the season, and continue to bloom 

 during the Summer and Autumn months. Hybrid Perpetuals will bear a considerable amount of hardship and 

 neglect, but improve greatly with good cultivation and rich soil. They should invariably be planted in open ground, 

 as they are not suitable for house culture. We have by far the choicest collection of Hybrid Perpetuals in the country, 

 and recommend those described below as the best varieties for general cultivation. Remember, our Roses are strong 

 plants, and none are grown in pots less than 2^ inches in diameter, and many are grown in 3 inch pots.
