HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are among the most valuable of all Roses. They are par- 

 ticularly desirable for cold climates because they are entirely hardy, also for the South, as 

 they add another distinct type of beauty to the Ever-Blooming Roses, which there flourish 

 so luxuriantly. 



The flowers of this class are very double and of immense size (frequently nearly six 

 inches in diameter), delightful fragrance, and of the most gorgeous and dazzhng colors, but 

 no shades of yellow. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, requiring but little attention 

 and surviving all ordinary hardships. Though slight protection in winter, in very exposed 

 situations, is always desirable, these are the hardiest Roses, and may be expected 

 TO BEAR safely ANY REASONABLE DEGREE OF COLD. When you plant Hybrid Perpetuals, 

 you may be quite certain of having Roses every year without further trouble. 



Though called Perpetual, it must be understood that they are not such early and con- 

 stant bloomers as the Ever-Blooming Roses. Few varieties bloom the first year, but grow 

 strong and get ready for the next. When once established they bloom freely at usual time 

 early in the season, and will continue to bloom at short intervals during the Summer and 

 Autumn months. They are much improved in size and beauty by good cultivation and 

 rich ground. We grow of the Hybrid Perpetual class alone more than two hundred varie- 

 ties, all of which can be furnished when desired. As, however, many of these resemble 

 each other very closely, we have thought it was not necessary to describe more than the 

 finest and most distinct. Indeed, for ordinary purposes, better effects are produced with 

 15 or 20 sorts than with more. 



The Hybrid Perpetuals should not be ordered for house culture, as they are not suitable 

 for the purpose. They will grow and thrive as well as the others, but are not so certain to 

 bloom.
