HYBRID PERPETUAL OR REA\ONTANT ROSES. 
For Rose gardens and general outdoor planting, certainly no other class of Roses is so valuable as this one {Rosa 
Damascena hyhrida), either in beauty of color, fragrance, durability, size of flowers or variety. We wish to call the 
attention of all who love Roses to the important fact that all our Hybrid Perpetual Roses offered for planting out are 
either on their own roots — grown from cuttings— or grafted on a Japanese stock (seedlings of Rosa radix villosa) 
which belongs exclusively to us. This is far superior to any other Rose stock, in that it forms masses of fibrous roots 
instead of stout woody ones and, therefore, never suckers from the root. For this reason it is the only really safe stock 
for all sorts of Roses — Hardy, Everblooming and Forcing Roses. Grafted on this stock immediately above the roots, 
the plants have a double set of feeding roots, and root-action is the source of strong and rapid growth in any plant. 
We claim that on one plant of our Japanese stock there are more fibrous or feeding roots than on ten plants of any other 
Rose stock — infinitely more than on a great many Roses on their own roots. We, therefore, highly commend these 
Roses to our customers, knowing that they will give entire satisfaction. 
It must be understood that this class of roses, the Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant class, is entirely hardy, but 
they are not conslanl bloomers, with a few exceptions. They give one grand mass of bloom in early summer, and then 
scattered blooms all through the season, depending more or less upon the variety and its treatment.
