Hybrid Perpetuals...How came we in possession of these lovely Roses which have so suddenly delighted us with their presence, forming, as they do, the most valuable Group among Autumnals! Their origin is various ; doubtless, in many instances unknown. The first varieties were raised by M. Laffay from between the Hybrid Bourbon or Hybrid Chinese and Damask Perpetual. Princesse Hélene, which was introduced in 1837, was the first striking variety that was obtained ,Queen Victoria followed next; and in 1840 there were above twenty varieties enumerated in the Rose Catalogues. Several of these, however, were drawn from other Groups: one-fourth were Bourbon Perpetuals.

Perpetual Roses.
To Perpetual Roses some valuable additions have been made, chiefly of Hybrid Bourbons, which partaking of the fragrance and hardiness of the Damask Rose, are very desirable, as well as from their blooming so abundantly in the autumn. These roses are termed "Hybrid Perpetuals" in some catalogues.
Queen Victoria is of a very deep reddish rose, tinged with purple: this is a fine and robust rose.
