Roses. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL,S, or REIHONXANXS. 
This group comprises, for the most part, 
mostly hardy, vigorous, easy of culture. As : 
prepared loam. Close pruning is 
generally required, 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 from 
purest white to deepest crimson, with 
intermediate shades of pink, blush, 
cherry, carmine and peach. The 
term “Perpetual ” may lead some to 
think that they are as constant bloom- 
ers as the Everblooming Roses. 
This is not the case. They flower 
freely in June, and at short intervals 
during the summer and fall. 
Remedy for Mildew. Mildew is, 
perhaps, the most injurious Rose dis- 
ease. It is generally caused by ex- 
tremes of heat and cold, and by long 
continued, damp, cloudy weather. 
The best remedies are sulphur and 
soot ; one of these should be applied 
the moment the disease makes its ap- 
pearance. It is a good plan to sprinkle 
the plants with water, so that the sub- 
stance applied will adhere.
