PB ACTIO AL GUIDE TO GABDEN PLANTS tea eosbs 



Perpetvials, they have been selected and 

 crossed and brought to great perfection 

 both in this country and on the Continent. 



Unfortunately they are not quite so 

 hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals, and most 

 of them require a slight protection of litter 

 or bracken or farmyard manure around 

 them during severe vifinters, especially in 

 northern parts of the kingdom, and in 

 other bleak localities. 



Although the kinds enumerated below 

 are roughly grouped according to their 

 colours, it is simply impossible to do 

 justice in print to the many beautifully 

 tender and delicate shades of colour in the 

 Tea Boses as a class. As they are a good 

 deal mixed up with the Noisette Roses, 

 the reader would do well to consult both 

 lists when looking for any particular 

 variety, as it may be in one or the other 

 according to the views of certain 

 rosarians. 



For general culture and propagation 

 see p. 382.
