Hybrid Tea Roses 



Hybrid Tea Roses are becoming- more popular every year owing- to their blooming qualities, size of bloom 

 and fragrance. This class combines the continuous-blooming quality of the Everblooming Teas and the 

 sturdy strength of the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants bloom from the first year like the Teas, bearing 

 large, finely formed flowers of a wondrous range of color, with the fragrance of the June Roses. They are 

 especially valuable to Northern planters because they stand the severest winters with ordinary protection 

 and, of course, luxuriantly in the South. In all sections they form magnificent bushes, bearing all summer 

 through great masses of the most beautiful Roses imaginable. They are without exception the greatest of 

 all garden Roses. 



Our stock is all on its own roots — don't buy the other kind, budded and grafted. This is important if 

 you wish satisfactory returns. We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes. 



Antoine Rivoire 



Flowers are large, double, and of fine form; very 

 fragrant; color rosy flesh, with yellow ground, shad- 

 ed with border of carmine. Strong and healthy. 

 AFGUSTIXE HALEM— A most brilliant and hand- 

 some pink Rose with shading of deep, rich crimson. 

 The bush is extremely hardy, free flowering and 

 constantly in bloom. 

 *COL. R. S. WrLLIA3ISOX — Large, fragrant flowers 

 of an exquisite shade of soft, rich carmine; blooms 

 all summer. 



*COUXTESS OF GOSSFORD — Beautiful, clear sal- 

 mon pink shaded with saffron. The flowers are of 

 handsom.e shape and fine substance. In every way 

 it is a remarkably fine bush Rose which will grow 

 to perfection in any garden. 



>ri' MARYLAND — Handsome in bud and flower. A 

 rare combination of a poetic name and exquisite 

 beauty has made this Hybrid Tea Rose a dangerous 

 rival of Killarney. Its brilliant, lively shade of 

 pink and beauty of form is without a superior, and 

 all summer through large, perfectly double, mag- 

 nificent flowers, rich in fragrance, are borne on 

 long, stiff stems, growing from a sturdy, fine shaped 

 bush, which in itself is a distinct ornament to the 

 garden. A great outdoor Rose. Extremely hardy. 



* Etoile de France 



One of the best and sweetest hardy Hybrid Tea 

 Roses of its color. The strong, upright bushes have 

 beautiful bronze green foliage which is not subject 

 to insect attacks. The bushes are blooming con- 

 stantly, producing large, massive, deep, full cup- 

 formed flowers on magnificent, long stems. They are 

 of truly glorious form and delightful fragrance, while 

 the color is exquisite — a clear red or velvety crimson. 

 AURORA — Better than Champion of the World; of 

 itself a recommendation of its great value. Flowers 

 of splendid form, large and full, of a brilliant pink. 

 A most vigorous, hardy garden bush Rose, con- 

 stantly in bloom. 

 *MADAM SEGOXD WEBER — One of the most en- 

 trancingly beautiful Roses of recent introduction. 

 The long, pointed buds are pink or salmon-flesh, 

 and when fully expanded are immense in size, full 

 and double; as the flower opens it deepens until it 

 fairly glows with its warm deep pink. Highly fra- 

 grant. It is a fine, strong- grower, forming a stout, 

 sturdy bush. 

 XORMA — Almost like iMad. Caroline Testout in form 

 and sturdiness of growth; of disease and insect re- 

 sisting qualities; of splendid fragrance, and the 

 color is a magnificent shade of pink. Of fine form 

 and substance.
