Hybrid Perpetual Roses.
Jubilee
The Massachusetts Horticultural Society has set the stamp of approval upon the Jubilee, having awarded this beautiful variety a medal as the best Rose shown in fifty years. It was shown in competition with hundreds of others, and was judged by experts and Rose-lovers. The Jubilee varies in color from a flashing red and darker to crimson, and burns with a zeal that is appealing. There is a strong, lasting, rosy fragrance that increases with age. The flowers are borne freely, large, full and of the most delicate fabric. The outer petals curl gracefully in unfolding, leaving a center of the richest coloring. The plant grows rapidly and compact and makes friends whenever given a chance to display the many admirable qualities. There should be a few of these Roses in every garden, and a bank of them will add much to the effectiveness and beauty of the pretentious plantings of shrubs and flowers on the grounds of large estates.
