HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
The Hybrid Perpetuals are among the most valuable of all roses. They are particularly 
desirable for cold climates because they are entirely hardy; also, for the South, as they are fully 
as beautiful, but entirely different from the Ever-Blooming Roses, which there flourish so lux'- 
ui-iantly. 
The flowers of this class are very double and of immense size (frequently from five to six 
inches in diameter), delightful fragrance, and of the most gorgeous and dazzling colors, but no 
shades of yellow. 'J'he plant is a .strong, vigorous grower, requiring but little attention, and 
surviving all ordinary hardships. Though slight protection in Winter, in very exposed situa- 
tions, is always desirable, thesd are Ihc 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.
