Everblooming Bedding Roses. 

 Teas and Hybrid Teas. 



PRICES, by mail, postpaid, each, 10c; three for 28c; 

 six for 50c; twelve for $1.00. 



The roses given under this class are mostly the re- 

 sults of crosses between the Teas and Hybrid Perpet- 

 uals. In this class will be found many varieties famous 

 for their vigor, profuseness, brilliancy and exquisite 

 fragrance of flowers. They combine the valuable charac- 

 teristics of both the Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals, inas- 

 much as they bloom freely the first year like ordinary 

 Ever-blooming Tea Roses, 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. 



Caroline Marniesse — An absolutely hardy rose that is 

 always in flower. There is scarcely a day from the 

 last of May till the middle or latter part of October 

 when this variety does not show a considerable quan- 

 tity of buds or flowers. The color is pure white, slight- 

 ly tinged with pink, flowers of medium size, produced 

 in clusters, very double, is of low-growing habit and 

 especially adapted for a border. Has sustained con- 

 tinued temperature of 20 to 25 degrees below zero 

 without injury.

 beautiful Tea Rose, valued highly for its elegant buds;

 planting and forcing under glass.

 forcing and outdoor garden culture.
