ROSES 
T HE flowers of the Hybrid Perpetual class are generally large, double, and very fragrant. Being perfectly hardy, these Roses may 
be planted out in the open ground and left all 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. If you wish to have flowers constantly in bloom, you must 
feed them well to bring them to perfection; they must have a very rich soil if you wish them to do their best. Do not let them suffer 
or want of water during the growing season ; this is a matter of great importance. 
All strong two-year field grown ; each 40 cents ; per dozen, £4.50. Except where noted.
