Hybrid Tea Roses 



- hese are the roses one normally thinks of when the 

 ^word "rose" is mentioned. Hybrid Tea roses usually 

 have large, pointed buds and normally come singly to 

 the stem though sometimes two or three. Bloom is in 

 the classic style, being high-centered with good form 

 and substance and with their strong stems are ideal for 

 cutting. Colors and fragrance come in a wide range. 

 They normally range from 2J--2 to 5 feet in height. Grandiflora 

 roses are a cross between the Hybrid Tea and Floribunda and flower 

 in clusters but have the classic form of the Hybrid Tea and are suit- 

 able forcutting. They usually grow taller than most of the Hybrid Teas.

{above) Grandiflora. (Swim & 

 Armstrong.) Plant Pat. App.for. 

 (Mfe^ This new Grandiflora is outstanding for the 

 "** lovely and unusual pink color of the buds and 

 flowers; for the exceptional vigor of the rounded, 

 beautifully foliaged plant; and for the great 

 quantities of bloom it carries. The urn-shaped 

 bud is larger than average and the double flower 

 is made up of 25 to 30 large petals which recurve 

 gracefully. The flower is almost a bi-color — light, 

 clear pink on the face of the petal and deeper, 

 reddish pink on the reverse — a most lively, 

 cheerful shade of pink. Typical of a Grandiflora, 

 this free-blooming variety carries most of its 

 flowers in clusters with good stem length, but 

 some of them singly. A tall, vigorous grower with 

 excellent foliage.

(above) Hybrid Tea. 



(Lammerts.) Plant 

 Pat. 2687. Here is a new rose distinguished 

 by a continuous succession of changing color 

 — shades of cream to a light canary-yellow in the 

 opening flower, contrasting with scarlet and ver- 

 milion at the half-open stage, plus a flush of 

 crimson on the petal edges of the mature bloom. 

 (It is not quite as yellow as illustration above.) 



The perfect, very long, urn-shaped buds open 

 to lovely, full bodied, high-centered blooms con- 

 taining 50 to 60 petals and having a light tea 

 fragrance. American Heritage is a rose that con- 

 tinuously grows on you. Its subtle change of 

 beauty, its soft enchanting glamour may not hit 

 you at first but at one time or another during 

 the season, you'll come to realize what a wonder- 

 ful rose it is. This is a tall, vigorous plant with 

 large leathery, semi-glossy foliage.
