Everblooming Bourbon and China Roses 



The Bourbon, and China Roses are hardy in almost every section of the country, so we list them to- 

 gether. They are strong and \'igorous growers, blooming freely and continuously. Many of the varieties 

 are noted for the large size and brilliant color of their flowers. Roses of these classes will bloom freely the 

 first 3'ear from young plants. They are splendid for autumn blooming, as they remain in flower until the 

 approach of winter. For pleasing results and reliability, these Roses have few equals, and they should be 

 planted freely. Excellent for bedding or planted singly.
