combination of orange, yellow and rose- "

Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
(JUNE-JULY ROSES) 
These roses are much more hardy, more sturdy, and more vigorous 
growing plants than the Hybrid Teas. Their flowers are larger, fuller, and 
generally more fragrant than those of the everblooming varieties. They are 
not, as their name implies, perpetual bloomers, but produce one great burst 
of bloom in June and July—a lavish display of flowers which is not equaled 
by any of the continuous blooming sorts. Some of them will bloom on and 
off throughout the summer and fall 
Like the Hybrid Teas, they prefer a good rich clay loam soil. (See page 
28 for complete cultural directions.) 
We list the following varieties as the best in this group, and recommend 
them especially to northern Wisconsin gardeners. 
J. B. CLARK. V ery large, full and double 
flowers of light red, shaded dark crimson. 
Strong, upright grower. Slightly fragrant. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. Large, rose-pink 
flowers of beautiful form, very double; 
fragrant. Blooms with unusual freedom in 
the fall. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI (Snow Queen). 
Best known of all pure white roses. Large 
sized blooms, very double, perfect in 
form, fragrant, and free-flowering. 
GENERAL JACQUEMINOT (General 
Jack). Favorite old-time crimson-red rose. 
Flowers very large, somewhat open and 
fragrant. Plant strong and bushy. 
GEORGE AHRENDS. A pink Frau Karl 
Druschki and just as beautiful. Long, del¬ 
icately shaped buds of an exquisite shade 
of soft pink; delicately scented. Good fall 
bloomer. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. An extremely use¬ 
ful and dependable variety, succeeding 
well all over Wisconsin. We sell more 
plants of this variety than any other rose 
we list. Small- to medium-sized, double 
blooms of crimson-scarlet. Blooming from 
June until frost. An excellent bedder.
