Frau Karl Druschki (Description page PAUL NEYRON)

(Description page 81) PAUL NEYRON; Levet, 1869.

Deep rose.

PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN; E. Verdier, 1861.

Deepest velvety crimson; this variety has rather a weak stem. Fragrant.

SUZANNE MARIE RODOCANACHI; E. Verdier, 1880.

Catalogued as soft pink; in this country more of a cerise-very much the same shade as Dorothy Page Roberts. Fragrant. ULRICH BRUNNER; Levet, 1882.

Cherry crimson. Sweet.

URANIA; M. H. Walsh, 1914.

Bright crimson.

XAVIER OLIBO; Lacharme, 1864.

Very dark crimson; a shy bloomer.

SOLEIL D'OR; Pernetiana; J. Pernet-Ducher, 1900.

Orange yellow to reddish gold, shaded with nasturtium red. The new yellow Hybrid Perpetual, Ludwig Moller, has been tested for one year, but, both inside and out, is an absolute failure.

In the Pacific Northwest, near Portland, the Hybrid Perpetuals give very much better bloom throughout a longer period than they do in the East. For example, Mr. Currey, of Portland, Oregon, reports sixty-five blooms on Druschki, as noted in the Main List; and on Ulrich Brunner he gives the following record: June, 24; July, 11; August, 9; September, 4; October, 10; Total, 58. Of course, in ordinary seasons there would be further bloom in November and possibly even later.

Hybrid Perpetuals should be pruned on the same principle as Hybrid Teas; cut back in the spring to six and eight eyes on the strong wood and a less number on the weak wood. The dead wood should be cut out and necessary thinning done. Plant from twenty-four to thirty inches apart. The roses in this class are generally budded on Manetti, although good results have been obtained on Multiflora, and many will do well on their own roots.
