Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 
This magnificent and beautiful class of Roses is better than any other adapted for exhibition 
and pot culture. They continue in flower from the early part of June to the end of October, 
and are by far the most desirable for general cultivation. Our stock of these, grown at our 
Nurseries, comprises many thousands of the newest and choicest varieties in standards and 
dwarfs, and the past season having been very favourable to their growth, the plants we offer 
will be found unusually well grown and vigorous, and may be expected to produce a fine display 
of bloom next season. Our standards and half-standards are all worked on the Dog Brier, 
dwarfs on Manetti stocks. 
HINTS ON CULTIVATION. 
Situation. — In planting Roses select, if possible, an open situation, where they get the full benefit of sun and air, and at the same 
time are sheltered from strong winds. If really fine Roses are desired they should be planted a fair distance apart and have the ground 
all to themselves. An abundance of beautiful Roses may, however, be grown by planting in almost any convenient place in the flower 
garden where not too much shaded, if moderate attention is given to pruning, insects, &e. 
■ Soil and Planting. — Generally speaking, Roses will thrive in any good garden soil, but as they have a decided preference for 
that which inclines to the clayey or loamy, it is advisable iu planting, where the soil is not of a suitable nature, to work in a good 
portion of well-decayed manure, and good rough fibrous loam ; where the soil is heavy, a moderate dressing of coal ashes will improve it, 
and if too wet drainage must be provided. November is the best month for planting, but this may be (lone in any favourable weather 
during the Winter months. In planting, open a good-sized hole and fill with freshly prepared and suitable soil, taking care to plant 
firmly ; dwarfs should be planted with the juncture of their stems below the surface, and standards should be firmly staked and tied to 
prevent their disturbance by the wind. 
Pruning. — To ensure a vigorous growth and fine blooms, freshly planted, and indeed all hybrid perpetual and other outdoor Roses, 
should be closely pruned about the early part of March, or later according to season. When the leaf-buds begin to expand carefully 
thin out all weak-growing shoots or wood from the middle of the plant, and prune down the main stems to tvyo or three eyes or buds 
on each stem. An occasional slight pruning and thinning-out during the Summer, when the first lot of bloom is going off, will greatly 
prolong the time of flowering and improve the quality of the late blooms. 
Manuring and Watering. — Roses are gross feeders and will absorb almost any quantity of manure. A good top-dressing of 
well-decayed manure should be laid on the beds in Autumn, and may be lightly dug in in Spring, or, if appearances aro not of much 
consequence, a rich mulching of short manure may be placed about the roots in Spring, and will stimulate the plants into splendid 
growth and flower. If the weather is dry when the plants are coming into bloom, they should have liberal waterings two or three times 
a week, and if fine blooms are desired for exhibition the buds should be thinned out, and liquid manure may be given freely once or twice 
a week, this, with frequent stirrings of the surface of the beds will keep the plants in good growth and vigour. 
Insects. — Early in the season, when growth has fairly commenced, caterpillars should be carefully looked after and picked off by 
hand, and if the plants later on are attacked by green-fly, they should be syringed at night, or early morning, with tobacco-water, fir-tree 
oil, or some other cleanser. One of the best remedies for green fly r is a solution of quassia chips and soft soap. Roil four ounces of the chips 
fifteen minutes in a gallon of soft water, then strain, and whilst cooling add four ounces of soft soap, which will readily dissolve, add to 
this, when cool, another two gallons of soft water, when it will be strong enough to apply with a brush or syringe, and is very effective.
