TEA ROSES. 



Since the former edition of this work, two new subdi- 

 visions have been proposed among the Tea Roses: 

 the "Hybrid Teas," and the "Climbing Teas." Tha 

 first named results from crossing some variety of the 

 Remontant Rose (Hybrid Perpetual), with one of 

 the Teas. As a general thing, they combine hardiness 

 and the large size and brilliant coloring of the Remon- 

 tants, with the exquisite perfume and constant bloom- 

 ing habit of the Teas. Though this class is still in its 

 infancy, there is every reason to expect a great advance 

 in Rose culture from their introduction. 



The "Climbing Teas," and their name describes their 

 peculiarity, are mostly seedlings from Gloire de Dijon, or 

 crosses upon it, though the majority are inferior to that 

 noble rose. As a matter of convenience, these two sub- 

 divisions are here included with the Teas, and are indi- 

 cated by (Hybrid), and (Climbing).
