T he flowers of the Hybrid Perpetuals range in color from white through cream to various shades of 
pink, and from bright red to dark velvety crimson, with one variety somewhat yellow. 
An important quality, inherent in these Roses, is that they are strongly fragrant, much more so 
than the Everblooming Roses. The sturdy, vigorous plants produce more and more flowers as they become 
older, and they need no protection, even in severe winters. 
The canes of old plants, after flowering, should be cut back within 23^ feet of the ground. 
We have the largest collection of Hybrid Perpetuals in America but only a few plants of some varieties, 
so please name alternates when ordering. 
All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted 
ALFRED COLOMBE. (F. Lacharme, 1865.) Light 
crimson with carmine reflexes; fine, globular form; 
extremely fragrant. Medium height, with scattered 
thorns and large, handsome foliage. 
Similar to General Jacqueminot, but flowers are 
fuller, more globular, and more freely produced. 
ALFRED K. WILLIAMS. (J. Schwartz, 1877.) Ma¬ 
genta-red, shaded crimson; large and perfect, with 
beautifully imbricated petals; some fragrance. Mod¬ 
erate growth, but hardy and free flowering. 
One of the most beautiful Roses but requires good 
culture. Unsurpassed for exhibition. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. (Ledechaux, 1875.) Dark pink, 
shaded with smoky carmine; full, globular form and 
most deliciously fragrant. A very famous old Rose. 
Requires a dry, cool situation and heavy fertiliza¬ 
tion. The modern strain of American Beauty blooms 
almost as freely as the Hybrid Teas. 75 cts. each. 
ANNA DE DIESBACH. (F. Lacharme, 1858.) A fine, 
globular, double Rose of rich rosy carmine, deepening 
at times to crimson. It is deliciously fragrant.

some flowers in autumn. 75 cts. each.

Bobbink & Atkins, 1929.) Large, glowing pink buds 
and gigantic flowers of vivid pink with a light golden 
glow at the base. Very strong growth. 
The gold undertone is rare in Hybrid Perpetuals 
and gives the flowers a modern touch.

very hot sunshine. 75 cts. each. 
BARONESS ROTHSCHILD. (Pernet pere, 1867.) 
Light pink, double blooms of perfect symmetry,

Old plants sometimes bloom in autumn. 
BARONNE PREVOST. (Desprez, 1842.) Large, full, 
pure rose-colored flowers of flat form and moderate 
fragrance. Very vigorous and hardy. 
One of the finest of the old Hybrid Perpetual 
Roses. It should be in every collection.

ous growth.

teenth century which is really a very dark red.

A Druschki seedling with more perfect flowers, 
but not as free a bloomer.

some, well-shaped blooms of a delicate flesh-pink 
shade, deepening in color toward the center. Dwarf; 
almost everblooming. 
Resembles closely a Hybrid Tea in growth as well 
as shape of the flowers. 
CAPTAIN HAYWARD. (H. Bennett, 1893.) Scarlet- 
crimson buds and flowers of exquisite form; very 
large and fragrant. Blooms freely in autumn. 
An important Hybrid Perpetual, in spite of the 
fact that it fades too quickly. Repays heavy fer¬ 
tilization. 75 cts. each. 
CLIO. (W. Paul & Son, 1894.) Big, very double, 
globular flowers of fine shape, pale satiny flesh, with 
pink tones in center. Very vigorous and thorny. 
Flowers come in large clusters and require dis¬ 
budding to get perfect bloom. Does best in dry, 
cool weather. 
COMMANDEUR JULES GRAVEREAUX. (J. Croibier 
& Son, 1908.) Pointed buds and peony-like flowers of 
velvety red, shaded maroon; very fragrant. Strong 
growth and liberal bloom. 
An irregularly formed flower of great beauty and 
large size, deliciously fragrant. 
DRUSCHKI RUBRA. (P. Lambert, 1929.) Large, 
crimson-red flowers similar in type to the well-known

only in a collection,

1912.) Long-pointed buds and blooms of warm pink, 
tinted lemon at base. Plant very vigorous, with erect, 
rigid flower-stems and good foliage.

globular flowers held erect, and richly perfumed. A

When weather conditions please the Earl, the flow¬ 
ers are superlatively good.

mine-red blooms with deep purple shadings, large, 
full, and very sweetly scented. Plant of considerable 
but not extreme vigor.

ers of crystalline white, delicately tinted with 
primrose. 
Low-growing plants producing the largest white
