 Pot Plants, 12/0 to 30/0 per dozen — put out from May to August— flower freely in Autumn, and become well 



established before Winter.

Teas are a favourite class of Rosea, eminent for their delicate colour, -delicious fragrance, and elegant 

 buds. Some succeed as Standards, but all prefer tbe protection of a wall or fence ; when planted in the open 

 ground the beds should be raised, and the surface of the soil should be covered with some light material to 

 protect their roots in winter. A sure and safe plan of wintering Teas is to earth up the plants (like celery) 

 to nine inches high, removing the soil in April, and pruning well back ; while Standards may have their 

 heads protected with Pern or Spruce Pir boughs tied in them. 



As Pot Plants under glass and for forcing Tea Roses are unsurpassed. Established Plants, for this 

 purpose, 18/0 to 30/0 per dozen; Specimen Plants, 5/0 to 10/6.
