Ren^oi^taqt Roses. 
Hybrid or Remontant Roses are perfectly hardy, free and con- 
stant bloomers, of all shades of colors from very dark to perfectly 
white. To obtain the most satisfactory results, they should be 
planted in rich, deep, well drained soil, and severely pruned in early 
spring before the buds start.

American Beauty— This grand rose is a seedling found in the gar- 
dens of Mr. liancroft, the historian, at Washington, D. C, who has 
perhaps the finest collection of roses in the country. In " American 
Beauty " we have for the first time a rose of large size, having the 
cverblooming qualities of the Tea Rose with the delicious odor of 
the Damask or Moss Rose', consequently equally valuable for 
winter or summer flowering. In color it is a deep brilliant pink, 
shaded toward the center with rich carmine. 
Mrs. John Laing— Hybrid Perpetual. This rose is without doubt 
the H. 1'. Rose for early winter forcing. It is an exquisite hybrid, 
a seedling from Francois Jlichclon. It is a remarkably strong 
grower, deliciously fragrant, a very free bloomer and bears fine 
long stems surmounted by buds of large size. This rose recom- 
mends itself to all growers of cut flowers for many reasons.

full, finely shaped globular flower, of medium size ; wood light 
green, foliage darker, thorns red ; slightly fragrant, very distinct ; 
not always reliable about opening, but a very free bloomer and 
well worthy a place in a small collection. Decidedly one of the

forcing.

grant.

uals, but sufficiently so to endure our climate with a little protection 
in winter.
