DIVISION II—PERPETUAL OR AUTUMNAL ROSES. 
BLOOMING CONTINUALLY, OR AT INTERVALS FROM JUNE TO NOVEMBER. 
CLASS I. 
HYBRID REMONTANT OR HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
(Rosa damascena hybrida.) 
This class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of growth, the 
weak shoots should be closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties are fragrant; 
some of them, like Alfred Colombo Louis Van I Ionite, Mme. Victor Verdier , etc., are most deliciously 
perfumed. 
Although they are styled per¬ 
petual bloomers, none of them are 
such in reality. However, many 
of them yield a fair second crop 
of flowers in the autumn, which 
is very acceptable. Aside from 
this, there is no class, take it all in 
all, so popular and which gives 
such general satisfaction.

ter form and finish than

tremely fragrant, and in 
every respect a superb

occasional pale greenish 
thorns; foliage large and 
handsome. One of the 
most useful of all sorts 
for general cultivation.
