THE DING-EE & OONARD COMPANY'S 



Ever=blooming Tea Roses. 



Standard List for General Planting. 



The Ever-blooming Teas form a very important group and are universally regarded as the most desirable 

 and valuable Roses for general culture; the demand for them far exceeds that of any other class. They 

 commence to flower almost as soon as planted and continue throughout the entire season, the blooms in- 

 creasing in size and beauty until Autumn. They are noted for their exquisite delicacy of coloring which 

 embraces all the lovely tea shades of yellow, fawn and cream ; also for their delightful fragrance, which 

 exceeds that of all the other families; they are only semi-hardy, and therefore one or the other of the 

 methods suggested under the head of "Cultural Directions with Reference to Winter Protection" should 

 be resorted to. It is from this class of Roses that we get all the better sorts, especially those best adapted 

 to house culture and growing under glass. The varieties included in the following Standard List are recog- 

 nized as the leading sorts for general culture ; they combine all the more pronounced features of the class 

 with reference to qualities of vigor, profuseness and brilliancy of bloom. The harvest of blossom during 

 the first year will more than compensate for the trifling outlay and effort expended. We would call espa- 

 cial attention to the fact that many of the varieties included in the list are of the later introductions.
