HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
This Class is the most useful and valuable of all the hardy Roses. Although classed as 
Perpetuals, they do not bloom continuously. 
Their Hardiness, fine foliage, vigorous growth, and magnificent flowers in June and at inter¬ 
vals during the summer, make them most desirable for planting in the open ground. 
Rich Soil, close pruning and mulching for these Roses is always desirable. 
Particular Attention is called to the Special Collections of the Best Hardy Roses, page 75. 
Plants On “own roots” or “budded,” as varieties grow best, are supplied.
