HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
This class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning 
should Ik* regulated by the habit of growth, the weak shoots 
should be closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. 
Mast of the varieties are fragrant. 
Although they are styled perpetual bloomers, none of them 
arc such in reality. However, many of them yield a fair sec¬ 
ond 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.
