FAIRFAX ROSES — THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
The Roses of this class are perhaps the most valuable for permanent planting, 
since they are perfectly hardy, show the greatest size of flower and bush, and make the 
most vigorous growth. Although they are called Hybrid Perpetuals, they produce a 
great number of blooms in their 
season and then give only scattered 
blooms until fall, except in the 
case of a few varieties which have a 
second season of beauty near the 
end of the growing period. For 
those who desire to plant a Rose 
that will last a lifetime, the Hybrid 
Perpetual is recommended. As a 
rule they do not require winter pro- 
tection, and once planted they in- 
crease in size for years with ordinary 
care. 
Price, except where noted, strong 
mailing size, 10 cts. ; larger 
size, 16 cts. ; heavy 2-year 
plants, 30 cts. 
Anne de Diesbach (Glory of 
Paris). Rose-color. Long, pointed 
buds and large, finely-formed, com- 
pact flowers; very full and double, 
and delightfully sweet. A vigorous 
grower and a fine bloomer. 
Black Prince. Crimson. Much 
sought after because of its splendid 
dark crimson flowers, which are 
shaded so deeply as to be almost 
black; cupped, large, full, fine shape. 
Very hardy. Price, 15 cts.; 3-inch 
pots, 25 cts.; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 
Cheshunt Hybrid. Red. This 
Rose is growing in favor as it be- 
comes known. A most beautiful 
deep rose or red. 
Mme. Constant Soupert (see page 5) 
Clio. Flesh. Two first-class certi- 
ficates awarded by the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society. This variety is of very 
vigorous growth, and has large, handsome 
foliage. The flowers are flesh-color, shaded 
to the center with rosy pink. They are 
very large, of fine, globular form, and freely 
produced. A grand addition in the style 
of Baroness, and unquestionably the finest 
of all Roses for flowering in pots and 
forcing. 
Conrad F. Meyer. Pink. Hybrid 
Rugosa Rose. A most valuable addition 
to the list of hardy, free-blooming Roses. 
It surpasses all others of the type in full- 
ness of flowers. The color is beautiful, a 
pure silvery pink. It is of ironclad hardi- 
ness. Its beautiful foliage alone would 
recommend it as an ornamental shrub for 
the garden. For a flowering hedge it 
should eventually take front rank. The 
fragrance of the flowers is spicy and 
delightful. Price, strong mailing size, 
3-inch pots, i,s cts.; heavy 2-year plants, 
40 cts.; extra-heavy 3-ycar plants, 60 cts. 
Countess of Roseberry. Pink. The 
color is satiny pink in the center and 
deepens on the outer petals to a bright 
rose. The feather-shading gives it the 
appearance of two distinct colors. Very 
free-flowering and a good grower. Price, 
extra-size 3-ycar plants, 50 cts. 
Coquette des Alpes. White. A lovely, 
pure white Rose. Very full and free in 
flower; delicious fragrance. 
Dinsmore. Scarlet. A vigorous, 
healthy Rose of dwarf, branching habit. 
The flowers are large, perfectly double, 
and of a dazzling scarlet-crimson color, 
and have the rich, spicy fragrance peculiar 
to the best Hybrid Tea Roses. 
General Jacqueminot. Crimson. A 
rich, velvety crim.son, changing to scarlet- 
crimson. A magnificent Rose, equally 
beautiful in the bud state or open. The 
best known of all Hybrid Perpetuals, and 
is without a rival in fragrance and rich- 
ness of color. It is perfectly hardy in most 
situations.
