Hybrid Tea Roses 



Vigorous shrubby Roses producing a profusion 

 of handsome fragrant flowers, many of them un- 

 surpassed in brilliancy of color and grace of out- 

 line. They are hardy as far north as Memphis and 

 Washington, but require protection in colder cli- 

 mates. They should be moderately or even severely 

 pruned in the spring, by eliminating all of the 

 weaker shoots, and by heading back the stronger 

 ones. They thrive in any fertile garden soil.

 double, with long-pointea buds. Very free-flowering.

 the most continuous-blooming of the Roses. They 

 are hardy throughout the Southern and Pacific 

 States, but require some protection in the North,
