Dainty Bess. Here we have a delicate shade of shell 
pink with conspicuous crimson markings greatly 
admired and justly popular. 
Innocence. Very large snow white flowers with wine 
red stamens tipped with golden anthers. 
Irish Fireflame. Another lovely single rose from

ing to old gold.

yellow centre.

HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
These roses which were immensely popular before 
the advent of the Hybrid Teas are more winter 
hardy than the latter and well adapted for the colder 
portions of New England. In nearly every case they 
have a very pronounced fragrance. While the majority 
bloom principally in June, a few are fairly constant 
bloomers. 
Captain Hayward. (Bennett, 1893.) Crimson scarlet, 
fine form, fragrant and robust. 
Frau Karl Druschki. (Peter Lambert, 1900.) Very 
large, pure white, extremely vigorous, although 
without fragrance. The most popular of all white 
roses. 
George Arends. (Hinner, 1910.) Sometimes called 
the “Pink Druschki.” The color is a pure soft 
pink, large and beautifully formed flowers which 
are freely produced. 
Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau. Very large vermil¬ 
ion scarlet flowers of globular form. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. (Barbier & Co.) A grand 
variety of recent introduction, white with a deli¬ 
cate flush of pink, of dwarfer habit than its seed 
parent, Frau Karl Druschki. 
Magna Charta. (William Paul & Son, 1876.) Bright 
pink suffused carmine, sweet scented, hardy and 
robust. Much used for forcing. 
Mrs. John Laing. (Bennett, 1887.) Immensely popu¬ 
lar, blooms just as freely as the Hybrid Teas. 
Large, clear pink flowers, freely produced and 
shoots are thornless. 
Paul Neyron. (Levet, 1869.) Enormous flowers, dark 
lilac rose in color, very fragrant. 
Prince Camille de Rohan. (Eugene Verdier, 1861.) 
This darkest of all the H. P. roses is still indis¬ 
pensable. The color is dark crimson, shaded maroon 
with a gracious fragrance. Given some shade the 
beautiful flowers will not burn. 
S. M. Gustave V. (Nabonnaud, 1928.) An ever 
blooming hybrid perpetual, lovely pink color, vig¬ 
orous, fully double flowers and very fragrant. 
Ulrich Brunner. Very vigorous large cup-shaped 
purple-crimson flowers, an old favorite. 
Prices of all Hybrid Perpetual roses 60 cents each, 
$6.00 dozen, $50.00 per 100. Six at dozen and 25 and 
50 at 100 rate.
