Hybrid Perpetual Roses.
Giant of Battles
The flowers of this variety are extremely large in proportion to the size of the plant. The latter is dwarf with slender shoots, but the blossoms are full and heavy. The fragrance is sweet and continuous. The blossoms come upon the plant quite freely, and the stems appear heavy laden beneath their burden of fiery crimson color- a veritable burst of radiance that suggests the name of this Rose. Because the bush requires so little room, if for no other reason, the Rose-lover should have several of the plants growing in conspicuous places about the home.
