ROSES. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL (HYBRID REMONTANT) ROSES. 
This group comprises, for the most part, the roses for the multitude. They are mostly hardy, 
vigorous, easy of culture. 
As a general rule, they thrive best in well prepared loam. Close pruning is generally re 
quired, but should be regulated to some extent by the rate of growth of each variety, those of 
vigorous habit not requiring to be cut back so much as those of slower growth. The flowers range 
in color from the purest white to the deepest crimson, with the intermediate shades of pink, blush, 
cherry, carmine and peach. The term perpetual might lead some to think that they are as con- 
stant bloomers as the everblooming roses. This is not the case. They flower freely in June and 
at short intervals during the summer and fall. 
Remedy fur Mildew. The mildew is perhaps the most injurious disease. It is generally 
caused by extremes of heat and cold, and by a long continuance of damp, cloudy weather. The 
best remedies are sulphur and soot; one of these should be applied the moment the disease makes 
its appearance. It is a good plan to sprinkle the plants with water, so that the substance applied 
will adhere.
