Roses 
There are several thousand named varieties of Roses. From this great number 
we have selected a list of varieties that appear best adapted to general cultivation 
in this section. They are divided into several classes. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
These are sorts that bloom freely in June and 
have more or less flowers at intervals until cold 
weather, the amount of bloom depending on the 
variety and very largely, also, on the care given 
the bushes. Always pick off the seed balls that 
follow the flowers. Winter protection is not 
absolutely necessary for this class, except in 
exposed places, but it is very desirable. 
Capt. Hayward. Very large; bright carmine 
crimson; very showy and a free bloomer. 
Clio. Large; delicate blush pink; beautiful 
in bud and open flower. A mass of bloom in 
June. 
Eugene Furst. Velvety crimson, large, full, 
and fragrant; a strong grower and desirable 
sort. 
Frau Karl Druschki. Large; beautiful pure 
waxy white. Vigorous in growth and very free 
blooming; the best hardy white rose. 
General Jacqueminot (Gen. Jack). Large; 
crimson, fragrant; well known and very popu¬ 
lar. 
Geo. Arends. Large; clear soft pink; a beau¬ 
tiful, fragrant, free-blooming rose. 
Henry Nevard. New. Velvety scarlet, full, 
very fragrant, and blooms over a long period. 
Claimed to be the best red hybrid perpetual. 
Marshall P. Wilder. Large, resembling Gen. 
Jacqueminot, but more double. A free bloomer 
and fragrant. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. New. Outer petals 
cream, tawny yellow center. Claimed to be 
very beautiful and the most continuous flower¬ 
ing of any hybrid perpetual. 
Mrs. John Laing. Large flowers; soft, deli¬ 
cate pink; beautiful buds. Very fragrant and 
free blooming, and a vigorous grower. Should 
be in every collection. 
Mrs. Sherman Crawford. Color a beautiful 
shade of pink; very free blooming. 
Prince Camille de Rohan. Good size, deep 
velvety crimson; one of the best very dark 
roses. Requires good care. 
Soleil d’Or (Golden Sun). Color ranging 
from pale yellow to reddish gold. Flowers of 
good size, double, and very fragrant. A beauti¬ 
ful rose but not a strong grower and requires 
good care. 
Ulrich Bruner. Brilliant cherry red, large 
and full. A vigorous grower and very satisfac¬ 
tory sort. 
HYBRID TEA ROSES 
These are a cross between Hybrid Perpetual 
and the tender Tea Roses. They are not as 
hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals and should be 
carefully protected in winter by banking up well 
with earth, and, in exposed places, covering the 
earth with straw, leaves, or evergreen boughs. 
As a rule the bushes do not grow as large as 
the Hybrid Perpetuals, but produce many more 
flowers. Some varieties are almost continu¬ 
ously in bloom until heavy frost. Because of 
their beauty, fragrance, and long blooming pe¬ 
riod, the Hybrid Teas are the most popular class 
of bush roses in this section. New sorts are 
constantly being introduced and we can often 
furnish varieties not given in our list. 
Betty Uprichard. Comes highly recom¬ 
mended; pink with copper pink on outside of 
petals. Healthy, vigorous, free blooming, and 
holds its color well. 
Briarcliff. A sport of Columbia, claimed to 
be better in every respect. Silvery rose pink, 
fragrant, and lasting a long time after cutting. 
Chas. K. Douglas. Crimson scarlet with 
long, pointed buds; slightly fragrant. Healthy, 
vigorous, and free blooming.
