The “Imperishable” Collection Hardy Roses 
The twelve Hybrid Perpetual Roses named below are un¬ 
equaled in their class, combining the greatest variety of form 
richness of color, and freedom of bloom, which it is possible to 
get in that number. The first and second sizes should bloom 
this year, and the third next year. 
ANNA DE DIESBACH 
Rich carmine. A grand Rose. This fine variety is most useful 
either for garden purposes or for growing in pots in greenhouses. 
Very free-blooming; fine long stems, so that it is very well adapted 
for cutting in summer. 
CLIO 
A very vigorous grower; has large, handsome foliage. The color 
is delicate satin-blush, with a light shading of rosy-pink at the 
center. 
DINSMORE 
A splendid bedding Rose, as free-blooming as the "Monthly"; 
dwarf branching habit. Dazzling scarlet-crimson; full and double; 
rich, spicy fragrance. 
Frau KARL DRUSCHKI 
Splendid buds and immense flowers, 4 to 5 inches across; per¬ 
fectly double and delightfully fragrant; large thick petals; very 
^ durable and handsome. Bright, shining green leaves, elc- 
gantly veined; a healthy, vigorous grower, entirely hardy, 
and a constant and abundant bloomer. The most beau- 
tiful and largest snow-white Rose now before the public. 
(See engraving.) 
Gen. JACQUEMINOT 
The most popular hardy crimson Rose ever introduced. It is a 
strong, vigorous grower, entirely hardy; an early and abundant 
bloomer. Its brilliant crimson is the standard of color by which 
other Roses are judged; flowers full and fragrant, popularly called 
the "Jack" Rose. 
HUGH DICKSON 
A rich, deep crimson, shaded scarlet; intermediate tones 
added give a brilliant effect. An exceptionally fine red Rose. 
Rich and spicy fragrance; a vigorous grower and free bloomer. 
JUBILEE 
The grandest hardy dark red Rose yet offered. The 
flowers are very large, the fragrance strong and spicy. The 
color is pure red in its deepest tone, shading to deep crimson-red 
with velvety-maroon in the depths of the flowers. It is the dark¬ 
est combined with pure color of which nature is capable. 
LA FRANCE 
Peach-blossom color, shaded pink and silver-rose. The flowers 
are large and beautiful either in the bud form or when fully ex¬ 
panded. It is very free-blooming, every shoot forming a beautiful 
flower and most deliciously fragrant. 
MAGNA CIIARTA 
This fine hardy Rose is distinguished alike for its vigorous, 
healthy constitution, freedom of bloom and handsome foliage, j 
Flowers bright, deep pink; very large and fragrant. A popular j 
Rose. (See engraving) 
Mrs. JOHN LAING 
Rich satiny-pink, large and full; delicious fragrance. This fine 
variety cannot be too highly praised. For freedom of bloom it is 
unsurpassed in its class. (See engraving.) 
PAUL NEYRON 
Probably the largest of all Roses. Color, clear, dark pink shaded 
carmine. Form of flowers, bold and handsome; very fragrant. 
ULRICH BRUNNER 
A beautiful hardy Rose in flower and foliage. The former is 
large and cupped; bright cherry-red, and very fragrant. Long 
flower stalks almost devoid of thorns.
