Choicest Hybrid Tea Roses 



THIS is a comparatively new class, the result of a union between the Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals. 

 In this class will be found many varieties famous for their vigor, profuseness of bloom, bril- 

 liancy and exquisite fragrance of flowers. They combine the valuable characteristics of both 

 the Teas and Hybrid Perpetual s. inasmuch as they bloom freely the first year like an ordinary Ever- 

 : blooming Tea Rose, and from the Hybrids they inherit the large, finely formed flowers and pungent 

 fragrance, together with vigor and hardiness. South of Philadelphia they are hardy; in the North 

 they will be benefited if given slight protection.

Hybrid Tea Roses of Special Merit 



BELLE SIEBRECHT .— Hardy, with slight protec- 



- tion: as pretty in form as 



La France or Duchest of Albany, and equally as 

 free blooming. It is an incessant bloomer, commencing 

 to bloom when the flowers are quite young, and con- 

 tinuing throughout the entire growing season. The 

 flowers are extra large, exceedingly graceful, full and 

 double: the buds are charmingly made, long and 

 pointed. The color is a brilliant, rich, deep pink. An 

 exquisite variety. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA.— One of the 



— most beauti- 

 ful of all Roses for open-ground culture; it is a strong. 

 healthy grower, and as hardy as any of the Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses, while it blooms with unbroken con- 

 tinuity from early Spring until severe frosts: in fact, 

 it is as free-blooming as any Tea Rose. It is celebrated 

 the world over for its elegant, large, pointed buds 

 and large, full, double flowers. Color delicate creamy 

 white; deliciously fragrant. As a cut flower it stands 

 without peer. It is the parent of our celebrated new 

 Hardy Climbing Rose. Mrs. Robert Peary, illustrated
