IT IS NOT A REAL ROSE-GARDEN WITHOUT HYBRID PERPETUALS 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
P ERFECTION in size of flower, fragrance, disease- 
resistance, and strength of growth predominate 
in this class, and while most varieties flower only- 
in June and July, many will repeat throughout the 
summer and fall, a few even repeating heavily enough 
to rival some of the Hybrid Teas. Varieties which 
repeat are indicated by an (R). 
Their uses are varied. They can be grown as bedding 
Roses at a height of 3 to 4 feet, or allowed to grow into 
shrubs up to 6 feet in height. A few of the more vigor¬ 
ous growers can be trained as pillars, giving remarkable 
displays of bloom in June and July; also by pegging 
down the long canes they can be used as specimen 
plants on lawns, covering considerable area, and 
flowering at every bud on the stem. 
Planting Distance: Average 2J^ to 3 feet. 
Pruning: If desired as a bedding plant, cut down to 
15 to 18 inches. For shrub type, 2 feet or over, as de¬ 
sired. For pillar Rose, allow to grow to desired height, 
then cut out only dead wood or enough to keep plant 
within bounds. 
Summer Pruning: Hybrid Perpetuals sometimes 
outgrow their allotted room, in which case cut the canes 
back to 4 feet. We have noted that this summer 
pruning encourages more repeat blooming.

"Started” Roses in Pots for Late Spring and Early Summer Planting 
Many varieties of our regular 2-year nursery-grown Roses are 
established in large pots for the late planting. Potted during the 
winter and early spring, they do not become root bound, as they are 
started just long enough to permit transplanting with perfect safety. 
There are none finer to fill in vacancies; they will be in leaf to “fit in” 
the established Rose bed and go right ahead blooming. 
When orders are received too late in the season for dormant plants 
in certain varieties, we will, unless otherwise instructed, use the potted 
plants. They are packed carefully in waterproof paper pots standing 
up in a wooden crate and sent express collect. However, we do not 
charge extra for potted Roses, so the prices are the same as for 
dormant plants.
