The Hybrid Tea Roses are recommended for their constant bloom, brilliant colors and exquisite 

 fragrance. Some varieties, such as La France, Duchess of Albany, Meteor, Pierre Guillot, Souvenir de 

 Wootton, etc., are among our best and most satisfactory Roses for general planting indoors and out, but 

 most of the others are of more tender growth, and therefore most suitable for greenhouse culture and grow- 

 ing in pots. They succeed moderately well in favorable situations in open ground, but are not very hardy 

 and cannot be depended on to bear Northern Winters unless carefully protected, and in most cases had 

 better be taken indoors when convenient before Winter sets in ; their brilliant colors, profuse bloom and 

 delicious sweetness make them particularly desirable for conservatory and house culture. 



Growers of Waltham Cross. It resembles La France, but is 

 more vigorous in growth and much deeper in color, hence 

 the name, Red La France, seems very appropriate. It is a 

 continuous and very free bloomer, producing a great abun- 

 dance of lovely buds and flowers all through the season. 

 The flowers are extra large, elegant in form, very double and 

 full, and remarkably fragrant ; color brilliant rose pink, ex- 

 quisitely shaded ; ir is highly recommended as one of the 

 largest, sweetest and best Roses for general planting, both 

 in open ground and for greenhouse culture ; it belongs to the 

 Hybrid Tea class, but is usually placed with the Hybrid Per- 

 petuate, because it resembles them in form and habit of 

 growth, etc.; it is reasonably hardy, but should have a good 

 covering of leaves or straw before severe weather. 20 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 6 for $1 . 



Antoine Verdier. — Large, beautiful flowers; bright 

 glowing pink, beautifully shaded rich crimson, very full and 

 sweet; immense bloomer ; fine for bedding. 15 cts. each. 



Beauty of Stapleford. — Bright pink color, shaded car- 

 mine; large size, very full, perfect form; delightfully scented ; 

 a constant and very free bloomer. 10 cts. each. 



Camoens. — Extra-large, full flowers ; color china rose, 

 suffused with pale yellow, passing to white, flushed with car- 

 mine ; fragrant and fine. 10 cts. each. 



Countess of Pembroke. — Flowers large and of exquisite 

 form, very full and sweet; color soft satiny pink, elegantly 

 shaded violet red. 20 cts. each. 



Duchess of Albany {or Red La France'). — This is a 

 superb new Rose recently introduced from England, where 

 it originated with Messrs. William Paul & Son, the great Rose 



Doeteur Reymont. — 

 This is a very elegant ami 

 handsome Hybrid Polyantha 

 Rose, originated by one of 

 the great Rose growers of 

 Paris, and noted for being a 



hardy ever-bloomer, which is a very desirable class, that 

 we do not have many of; it is a continuous bloomer, pro- 

 ducing extra-large, very beautiful flowers, somewhat flat 

 in form, but very full and regular, almost perfect shape; 

 color bright, shining vermilion red ; remarkably brilliant 

 and striking ; reverse of petals elegantly clouded with rich, 

 violet crimson; exceedingly sweet and attractive, and ex- 

 cellent for open-ground planting; reasonably hardy, but 

 requires covering in cold localities. 25 cts. each; 5 for$i. 



La France. — Perhaps no Rose is better known or more 

 highly valued for general planting, both in open ground or 

 under glass, than La France. It is a Hybrid Tea, but usually 

 classed with the Hybrid Perpetuals; it is exceedingly sweet 

 and handsome, and altogether one of the loveliest and most de- 

 sirable Roses one can plant; both flowers and buds are of 

 grand size; the color is a lovely shade of peach blossom, chang- 

 ing to amber rose, elegantly tinged with crimson ; delicious tea 

 fragrance; very full and wonderfully beautiful ; commences 

 to bloom soon after planting out, and continues until stopped 

 by freezing weather. Moderately hardy, but requires pro- 

 tection in Winter. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 8 for $1. 



DOCTEUR REYMONT. 



Meteor. — This splendid Rose belongs to the Hybrid Tea 

 class, and is admittedly one of the brightest colored and most 

 brilliant Roses we have, and is highly recommended for bed- 

 ding and general planting, as well as for growing in pots and 

 conservatory; the color is rich velvety crimson, exceedingly 

 bright and striking, and both buds and flowers are large and 

 elegantly formed, fully double, and borne on nice long stems, 

 which renders it especially attractive, as well as nice for cut- 

 ting. It is a vigorous and healthy grower and a quick and 

 constant bloomer, quite fragrant ; a really excellent Rose in 

 every way ; requires careful protection in Winter. 20 cts. each.
