HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
The June display of the Hybrid Perpetuals is of great magnificence 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
npHESE Roses are the completely hardy, vigorous sorts that are dependable in all 
parts of the United States, though they are not, as their name implies, perpetual 
in bloom. They produce in June the great and overpowering burst of bloom that 
makes it the month of brides and Roses. They are worth while because of this bloom 
quality, and because when they do bloom in June they produce a far greater show of flowers 
than is possible to any everblooming sort. They include also forms that are fuller and 
sweeter and larger than those found in any other class, and they therefore form the frame¬ 
work of the Rose-garden, while in the more northern locations they are the only Roses 
that may be depended upon for complete hardiness. Some of them produce flowers in the 
fall, particularly if the foliage is kept free from disease and the plants are fertilized. They 
were first introduced in 1848 by Laffay. 
All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10, except where noted, for strong field-grown plants 
ALFRED COLOMB. (Lacharme, 1865.) Straw¬ 
berry-red, with crimson-carmine reflexes; large, 
full, very free, and hardy. 
ALFRED K. WILLIAMS. (Schwartz, 1877.) 
Carmine-red, changing to magenta; large, full, 
of imbricated form, fragrant. Growth moderate. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. (Bancroft, 1886.) 
This famous Rose of the florists is in reality the 
French rose, Mme. Ferdinand Jamin, but was 
imported by the historian Bancroft in 1886 and 
at his suggestion later introduced as American 
Beauty by a Washington florist. Its very large 
blooms are deep pink to soft carmine, with 
delicate veining of dark red on the broad petals. 
Under proper care it is a strong grower. 
ANNA DE DIESBACH. (Lacharme, 1859.) 
Bright carmine-red, in large, full, and fragrant 
flowers of the most attractive character. A 
vigorous grower and excellent bloomer. 
BARON DE BONSTETTEN. (Liabaud, 1871.) 
Dark velvety crimson flowers, large and of fine 
full form, as well as deliciously fragrant. 
BARONESS ROTHSCHILD. (Pernet, 1867.) 
Dainty pale pink is the color of this superb Rose, 
large in size and symmetrical in form, as well 
as fragrant. As each Rose is set in its own cup 
of beautiful foliage, it has attained prominence 
as the acme of perfection in its class. 
CAPTAIN CHRISTY. (Lacharme, 1873.) 
Plump and heavy buds with backward-curling 
petals, including both light and dark pink colors, 
the massive open bloom showing darker toward 
the center. This variety is a sturdy and rather 
dwarf grower. 
CAPTAIN HAYWARD. (Bennett, 1893.) 
Brilliant carmine in its large and highly perfumed 
flowers, which are freely produced.
