The flowers of the Hybrid Perpetual class are generally large, ’wHi double and very fragrant; and, being perfectly hardy, 
these Roses maybe planted out in the open ground and left all iB* winter without any protection, and will for years 
continue to yield an immense crop of flowers in June, and many of * them will bloom freely throughout the season. 
The Roses we offer, we wish to say, are very much superior to the cheap Roses offered the public at lower prices, and. which 
so frequently cause disappointment. To be successful with Roses, a deep, rich loam of a stiff, rather than a light nature, should 
be provided. Shallow sandy or gravelly soils are unsuited for Roses, as also are improperly drained soils. In gardens where 
Roses are to be planted in unfavorable situations it is best to dig out the natural soil in the first place, and replace it with a 
properly prepared compost. A depth of 1% feet should be provided for such strong-growing kinds as most of the Hybrid Per- 
petuals, and a similar depth should be provided for all Roses. The soil can scarcely be made too rich ; plenty of manure and 
bone meal may be added when the ground is being prepared for planting, and an annual top-dressing in addition will be found! 
beneficial. The soil should be made thoroughly firm about the plant after planting and liberally watered.
