Ever=blooming Tea Roses. 



Standard List for General Planting. 



The Ever-blooming Teas are a very important class and among our most beautiful and valuable Roses 

 for general planting; they begin to bloom almost as soon as planted, and continue throughout the whole 

 season ; they are noted for their exquisite delicacy of coloring, which includes the charming tea shades of 

 yellow, fawn and cream; also for their delightful fragrance, which surpasses that of all other Roses; they 

 are not entirely hardy, and will not usually bear Northern Winters without shelter or careful protection ; but 

 some varieties are more hardy tha'n others, and in favorable situations they often survive for many years, 

 and many people keep them successfully by covering with leaves or brush, or by lifting and storing them 

 in the cellar. It is from this class of Roses that we get all the best varieties for house culture and growing 

 under glass. The varieties described below are believed to be the best now known for general use; they 

 are mostly strong, vigorous growers, constant and profuse bloomers. Their first season's bloom more than 

 repays their entire cost, and they are so easily and cheaply replaced, that if you can't keep them over, it 

 pays to get them new every year; they are so exquisitely beautiful that no lover of Roses will willingly do 

 without them. We would call special attention to the fact that many varieties embraced in this class are of 

 the latest introduction and are frequently offered as ?tew Roses.
