Everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses 



In this strong, free-flowering race the Rose hybridizers have given us much of the 

 hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetuals combined with the free, if not constant flowering 

 habit of the Teas. Blending these two classes has developed rare and beautiful colors 

 undreamed of only a few years ago. On this and the following five pages you have 

 the best representative varieties to select from for planting this fall.

Columbia. An ideal Rose for cutting 



•COLUMBIA. (Illustrated above.) An extremely 

 popular American-bred Rose. Its large, firm 

 buds open very slowly to wide, impressive flowers 

 whose color deepens as it expands to a rich rose- 

 pink, slightly tinged with yellow at the base of 

 the petals. The stems are long and very strong, 

 making it ideal for cutting because of its heavy 

 substance and fine lasting quality. It is de- 

 lightfully fragrant. This Rose is particularly 

 good in the cooler seasons, when the color is 

 richer and it produces flower after flower with 

 great freedom. It does not bloom so well in hot 

 weather, when the buds may be short and 

 puckery, and the flowers not so good. It has few 

 thorns, and the foliage is healthy. Columbia 

 comes as near to perfection for the amateur as 

 can possibly be expected from any Rose. 

 Awarded Hubbard Gold Medal of American 

 Rose Society, $1 each. 



•CRUSADER. Notable for its full, pointed flowers 

 of fine form, great broad petals, and heavy sub- 

 stance. Rich crimson-red, with somewhat 

 lighter shading toward the center. The most 

 perfect blooms come in cool weather. Makes 

 a splendid cut-flower. $i each.

•AMERICA (HILL'S). Originally a cut- 

 flower Rose for florists, this Rose has 

 quickly made its way into the garden 

 where its behavior varies greatly 

 depending on locality. Produces 

 large, finely shaped flowers of 

 bright rose-pink, delicately shaded, 

 borne on long rigid stems. $i each. 



•BETTY. A dependable Rose with 

 beautiful, coppery buds of ex- 

 quisite form, and large, very at- 

 tractive salmon-pink flowers with 

 a golden sheen; golden yellow 

 center. The color fades quickly 

 in hot weather, and then the 

 flowers are apt to hang their 

 heads. It is very fine in the fall. In 

 our trial-garden, Betty is always 

 picked out as one of the daintiest 

 colored Roses. N. R. S. Gold Medal. 

 $i each. 



•BETTY UPRICHARD. New. An out- 

 standing new Rose with copper red buds, 

 opening to an exquisite semi-double 

 flower, rich deep salmon in color with 

 orange base, the reverse of the petals 

 carmine. In the open flower the center 

 can be seen but the firm-textured petals 

 do not flatten out except in hot dry 

 weather. A vigorous-growing, continu- 

 ous bloomer with strong tea fragrance. 

 Fine for cutting. $1.50 each. 



•DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. The most 

 serviceable yellow Rose to date. In spite of the 

 recent avalanche of yellow varieties, good yel- 

 low Roses are rare. It will take a mighty good 

 one to dethrone this queenly old variety. Its 

 lovely buds are tinted with apricot and are very 

 long and pointed. They unfold slowly, chang- 

 ing from deep orange-yellow to lemon and 

 lighter shades. Half-open, there is nothing more 

 beautiful than its deep blooms of glowing yellow, 

 but the open flower is deficient in petals. The 

 flowers are richly tea-scented, and freely pro- 

 duced, but sometimes hang their heads. Duchess 

 of Wellington is not perfect but it is a top-of- 

 the-list, thoroughly tested yellow Rose, unusually 

 free from pests and will be indispensable for 

 many years. $i each. 



•EDEL. A strong-growing Rose, producing very 

 double ivory-white flowers of notable quality. 

 Makes a magnificent bloom. A vigorous grower, 

 and quite healthy, although the flowers some- 

 times nod and fail to open in wet weather. In 

 our nursery rows it is continuously in bloom 

 all summer and continues to bloom until cold 

 weather. N. R. S. Certificate of Merit. $i each.
