HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



The hybrid perpetuals are among the most val- 

 uable of all roses. They are particularly desirable 

 for cold climates, because they are entirely hardy. 



The flowers of this class are very double and of 

 immense size (frequently from four to five inches 

 in diameter), delightfully fragrant, and of the 

 most gorgeous and dazzling colors. The plant is 

 a strong, vigorous grower, requiring but little at- 

 tention, and surviving all ordinary hardships. 

 Though slight protection in winter, in very ex- 

 posed places, is always desirable, these are the 

 hardiest roses and may be expected to bear any 

 reasonable degree of cold. 



When once established, they all bloom freely at 

 the usual time, early in the season, and 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.
