Hybrid Perpetual Roses
Magna Charta. (W. Paul & Son, 1876.) Bright pink, very large, very double flowers, suffused with carmine; heavily perfumed. Strong, erect growth, average foliage, and profuse bloom at its season.
One of the very best Roses of any class, but seldom or never blooms in fall. Notable for fragrance and hardiness. This is an excellent, free-flowering Rose for growing in pots. Plants potted in autumn, kept in a coldframe, and brought into the house in late January or early February, will be in full bloom in April.
A reliable fall-blooming Hybrid Perpetual.

Magna Charta (W. Paul & Son, 1876): a lovely, lovely old rose, for. which I have the greatest admiration and respect. I know none better in tender deep-pink color, or surpassing it in fragrance. It is one of the very best and most desirable of all roses. I have never seen it bloom in autumn.
