THE 
Imperishable 
COLLECTION 
OF TWELVE HJtRDY ROSES 
T HE twelve hardy Roses named below are un¬ 
equaled in their class, combining the greatest 
variety of form, richness of color and free¬ 
dom of bloom which it is possible to get in that 
number. The first and second sizes will bloom 
this year, and the third will make fine plants for 
next season’s flowering. 
Summer Queen. A beautiful, light pink Rose, very free 
— - - blooming, fine long stems and very few 
spines, so that it is very well adapted for cutting in summer. 
Jubilee. The grandest hardy dark red Rose yet offered. This 
^ - grand variety was awarded a gold medal by the 
Mass. Horticultural Society for the best new' Rose exhibited in 
fifty years. 
Gen. Jacqueminot, a rich, dark crimson w r ith velvety 
.— — sheen, full and fragrant. The best 
known Rose, perhaps, in the world; in this country its sobriquet 
of “Jack” Rose is its best-known title. 
Paul Neyron. Probably the largest of all Roses; color, clear 
— ■ ■ = dark pink, shaded carmine. Form of flowers, 
bold and handsome; very fragrant. 
Prince Camille de Pphan. One of the grandest hardy 
■■ ~- = red Roses and unapproached 
in color. It is best described as a blackish-crimson. In the bud 
it is the darkest; as the flower exposes, vivid, smoky-crimson 
shades are brought to light, giving it a very rich effect. 
Ulrich 'Brunner. A beautiful hardy Rose in flower and 
. • —.— - foliage. The former is large and cupped, 
bright cherry-red and very fragrant. The flowers are borne on 
long flower stalks almost devoid of thorns. 
La France. Flowers large and beautiful, either in the bud 
- ■ ■ form or when expanded; peach-blossom color, 
shaded pink and silvery-rose. It is very free blooming, every 
shoot forming a beautiful flower, and most deliciously fragrant. 
Magna Charta. Fright deep pink, very large and fragrant. 
-A grand and very popular garden Rose. 
Anna de Diesbach. (Gloiredg Paris.) Dark rich pink; im- 
- ■■ - mense size; one of finest hardv Roses.

Francois Levet. A profuse bloomer. The flowers are large, 
»—■ ' ' double and deep rosy-red, the shade 
known as “cherry-rose.” 
Mrs. John Lains. , Ri . ch satiny-pink large and full, de- 
— .. — licious fragrance. I his fine variety can¬ 
not be too highly praised. For freedom of bloom it is unsur¬ 
passed in its class, being nearly equal to the Monthly Roses in that 
respect. This delightful variety should be planted everywhere.
