NEW HYBRID 



TEA ROSE. 



Belle Seibrecht 



THIS is a truly superb new ever-blooming rose, grand and beautiful in form and color, exceedingly 

 sweet, and claimed to be entirely hardy in open ground. The flowers are large and beautifully formed, 

 having long tapering buds of the most graceful type. 

 Color, rich imperial pink — a very rich and beautiful shade 

 not often seen. When 

 fully open the flowers 

 are five to six inches in 

 diameter, but so 

 double and full

 the centre. It is , 



thy grower, 

 with large, 

 glossy foliage; 

 also a most 

 prolific bloom- 

 er, every shoot pro- 

 ducing a perfect 

 flower. It is 

 a true ever- 

 bloomer, high- 

 ly recommended 

 for forcing for 

 winter bloom, and 

 altogether one of 

 the most reliable 

 new roses of 

 the time.
