Hybrid Perpetual 

 Roses 



Roses of this class are perhaps the most 

 valuable for permanent planting, since they 

 are perfectly hardy, show the greatest size of 

 flower and bush, and make the most vigorous 

 growth. Although they are called Hybrid Per- 

 petuals, they produce a great number of blooms 

 in their season and then give only scattered 

 blooms until fall, except in the case of a few 

 varieties which have a second season of beauty 

 near the end of the growing period. For those 

 who desire to plant a Rose that will last a life- 

 time, the Hybrid Perpetual is recommended. A 

 a rule they do not require winter protection, and 

 once planted they increase in size for years with 

 ordinary care. 



Ulrich Brunner. Crimson. Flowers of im- 

 mense size, of excellent, bright crimson, flamed 

 with scarlet, and borne in great profusion: one 

 of the best of its class. The blooms are highly 

 fragrant, full and globular. Price, extra-size 3- 

 year plants, 50 cts. 



Jubilee. Red. Awarded gold medal by the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the only 

 Rose to obtain the honor. Pure red in its deep- 

 est, shading to deep crimson-red and velvety- 

 maroon-red in the depths of the petals. It fairly 

 glows in its rich coloring, and has a rich, velvety 

 finish of its own. It is a hardy ever bloomer, and 

 an acquisition to any collection of Roses. 



Magna Charta. Red. A splendid Rose; extra 

 large, full, very double flowers of fine form, and 

 sweet; clear rosy red, beautifully flushed with vio- 

 let-crimson; a sure and profuse bloomer: one of 

 the hardiest and best for general planting. Price, 

 extra 3-year plants, 50 cts. 



Mme. Masson. Rose. This is one of the 

 really superb Roses, and fully the equal of any 

 variety in my collection. I think it one of the 

 very finest Roses in existence for garden cultiva- 

 tion; it is entirely hardy, blooms nearly all the 

 time, bearing in profusion numbers of large, full- 

 double flowers of unusual beauty and wonderful 

 fragrance; color clear, bright rose: distinct and 

 charming. Price, 15 cts.; larger size, 20 cts.; 

 2-year plants, 40 cts. 



Mrs. John Laing. Pink. A splendid, con- 

 stant-bloomingHybrid Perpetual; perfectly hardy.

 ingly sweet. The color is a clear, shining pink, 

 exquisitely shaded. Buds long and pointed. 

 Price, e.\tra-size 3-year plants, 50 cts. 



Paul Neyron. Pink. I call special attention 

 to this grand Rose. The flowers are immense; 

 bright, shining pink, clear and beautiful; very 

 double and full; finely scented; blooms the first 

 season. 



Prince Camille de Rohan. Crimson. A 

 magnificent Rose, celebrated the world over for 

 its large, handsome, fragrant fiowers and the free- 

 dom with which they are produced. The color 

 is a deep, rich, velvety crimson, passing to intense 

 maroon shaded black; at a short distance they 

 appear really black. 



Anne de Diesbach (Glory of Paris). Rose- 

 color. Long, pointed buds and large, finely form- 

 ed, compact flowers; very full and double, and de- 

 lightfully sweet. A vigorous grower and a fine 

 bloomer. 



Black Prince. Crimson. Much sought after 

 because of its splendid dark crimson fiowers, 

 which are shaded so deeply as to be almost black; 

 cupped, large, full, fine shape. Very hardy. 

 Price, 15 cts.; 3-inch pots, 25 cts.; 2-year plants, 

 40 cts. 



Clio. Fresh. Two first-class certificates award- 

 by the Royal Horticultural Society. This 

 variety is of very vigorous growth, and has large, 

 handsome foliage. The flowers are flesh-color, 

 shaded to the center with rosy pink. They are 

 very large, of fine, globular form, and freely pro- 

 duced. A grand addition in the style of Baroness, 

 and unquestionably the finest of all Roses for 

 flowering in pots and forcing. 



General Jacqueminot. Crimson. A rich 

 velvety crimson, changing to scarlet-crimson. A 

 magnificent Rose, equally beautiful in the bud 

 state or open. The best known of all Hybrid 

 Perpetuals, and is without a rival in fragrance and 

 richness of color. It is perfectly hardy in most 

 situations. 



Giant of Battles. Red. The very best rich 

 red Rose; very large, double, full and sweet; ex- 

 cellent. 



Gloire Lyonnaise. Yellow. The only yel- 

 low Hybrid Perpetual we have. It cannot be 

 called deep yellow, but rather a pale shade of 

 chamois or salmon-yellow, deepest at the center, 

 sometimes passing to a rich creamy white, finely 

 tinted orange and fawn. 



J. B. Clarke. Red. Without doubt the large 

 est Rose ever grown. The growth is strong, up- 

 right and vigorous, making a large, handsome 

 bush; the foliage is broad and stout, bronzy green 

 in the young state, changing to dark green. 

 Blooms are very large, 7J4 inches in diameter by 

 5 inches deep, and beautifully formed; flowers full 

 and long; strongly fragrant; color, intense scarlet, 

 shaded crimson-maroon, dark and rich. Awarded 

 gold medal of the National Rose Society. Dick- 

 son classes this Rose as a Hybrid Tea. I class it 

 as a Hybrid Perpetual. Price, heavy mailing 

 size, 20 cts.; 2-year-old plants, 50 cts., all our own 

 roots. Extra-heavy 3-year budded plants, 75 cts. 



China Roses 



These are the Roses of our grandmother's 

 days, but on account ofUheir Sterling qualities they 

 are still popular and are worthy of planting in 

 any garden. The range of color is considerable, 

 and their absolute hardiness, ease of culture, 

 fragrance and adaptability to adverse conditions 

 make them popular and valuable varieties. Price 

 of these six kinds, maiUng size, 10 cts.; strong 

 2-year plants, 25 cts. each. 



Champion of the World. Pink. It is quite 

 hardy and possesses that dehcious old-fashioned 

 Rose fragrance so much sought after in an ever- 

 blooming variety. 



Clothilde Soupert. Pink. A strong, vigor- 

 ous grower. The flowers are large, double and 

 beautiful in form, in the style of the beautiful 

 Rose, Ball of Snow. They are borne in sprays, 

 and the color blends from a soft shell-pink to a 

 pure, satiny white. Roses with both these 

 colors are borne on the same plant at the same 

 time. Unequaled in flowering qualities. 



Duchesse de Brabant. Carmine. A bright 

 China-rose, with coppery yellow center, ends of 

 petals suffused with carmine. A charmingly 

 beautiful cambination of coloring, as each color 

 blends nicely with the other. This variety 

 ranks with the best and is a Rose of decided 

 merit.
