Everblooming Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
The Hybrid Perpetiials are hardier and more vigorous than the Hybrid Teas, and perhaps the most 
valuable of all Roses for permanent planting, as they will succeed almost any place. Many people 
in the North tliink they cannot grow Roses because of the severe winters, but Roses can be grown in 
any climate, provided the right kinds are planted.

Perpetiials sliould be given severe pruning after the spring blooming season to induce best bloom for 
late summer and fall.

The most truly everblooming of all Roses. They are 
scarcely ever without flowers during the growing season. 
They are the first to bloom and continue until the last, 
even into October after the frosts have cut down the others. 
They are not climbers as the term rambler might indicate, 
but a bush rose growing 18 inches to 2 feet high and are 
proving more popular each year for bedding, borders and 
hedges. As cut flowers they are excellent for mixed bou¬ 
quets. They are produced in clusters or sprays of a dozen 
or more flowers.

Rugosa roses and their Hybrids, commonly known as 
the Eskimo Beauties, are the hardiest race of roses in 
cultivation. They are not only suited to the coldest 
Nortlicrn States, but do equally as well in the South 
and West; in the mountains and at the sea shore; in 
fact, they will grow most anywhere, reijuiring no caro 
or protection and will adapt themselves perfectly in 
rough places and neglected corners of your yard. Also 
valuable for their resistance to insects, disease, blight, 
etc. They make dense compact shrubs 4 to 6 feet in 
height and are very useful as well as ornamental both 
as specimen plants and in the shrubbery border. They 
are the most dependable of all roses and should be 
liberally planted. 
A severe pruning immediately following the spring 
blooming period will bring an abundance of bloom 
through late summer and fall.
