Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses 



Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the great Roses of today. Without them, the lovely Hybrid 

 Tea class would be impossible. They are among the oldest and most highly cherished of all Roses. They 

 have made the Rose-gardens of America what they are. Their place and value is everlasting. Rugged, 

 healthy and hardy in growth, free blooming (they bloom all the time), their flowers are chaste and beauti- 

 ful. You cannot well do without them. They thrive gloriously in all sections of the country. 



■ Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, caused them to be produced by some growers in enormous 

 quantities to meet a certain demand for "Cheap Roses," and these so-called cheap Roses have brought un- 

 told disappointment to all who have planted them, and have discredited the business of every first-class 

 Rose dealer. Don't be misled into buying the cheap, "one-eyed," "thumb-pot" Rose plants made to sell at 

 popular prices. Plant good Roses, grown by a firm with a reputation to sustain. Pay a fair price for fir.st- 

 class goods, with a guarantee back of them — the West Grove kind — and you will soon become a Rose enthu- 

 siast. Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses in the world. This collection of hardy, everbloom- 

 ing Tea Roses is the very life of our immense list. To the beginner — the novice in Rose culture — the great 

 number of varieties may be confusing, but to eliminate a single one, however, would do a distinct injustice 

 to the introducer and to our collection, for each variety has its own particular charm and merit. If you 

 find it difficult to make a choice, leave the selection to us.

The Bride 



There is no other white Rose more satisfactory 

 than The Bride. When planted in the open ground, 

 the flowers are sometimes found to be delicately tint- 

 ed with pink, making it exceedingly attractive. The 

 buds and flowers are unusually large, well-formed 

 and deliciously perfumed. 



*BLITMEXSCH3nDT— A splendid bedding Rose of 

 the Cochet type, glowing all summer with itst 

 wealth of citron-yellow flowers, each petal of which 

 is edged with dainty rose. The individual flowers 

 are large and well-formed, resembling in many 

 ways some of the handsomest Tea Roses. 



BOUGERE — This is a fine variety for open-ground 

 culture. Large, full and double fiowers supported 

 on long, stiff stems and produced in great abun- 

 dance all through the growing season; color bronze- 

 rose or violet-crimson, shaded with lilac. 



MARION DIXGEE — The darkest, richest colored Tea 

 Rose known. Large finely formed flowers are 

 borne in constant profusion throughout the season. 

 Color deep, brilliant crimson. 



Bridesmaid 



This variety is valuable for cutting and does flnely 

 in the open ground; a sport from the old and popu- 

 lar pink Tea, Catherine Mermet, but of a fine, clear, 

 dark pink, much deeper and more constant in color 

 than Mermet. 



BOADICEA — Fine, large, double, rose-pink flowers, 

 produced in wonderful profusion on good, stiff 

 stems; buds long and pointed. 



*DUCHESS DE BRABANT — A very vigorous and 

 healthy variety, producing large blossoms which 

 are beautiful in buds or open flower. The color is 

 a fine shade of soft, rosy pink, which deepens to 

 bright rose. A special favorite. 



VIRGINIA — This splendid Rose is the result of a 

 cross between Safrano and Marchal Niel. It is a 

 constant bloomer and of vigorous growth, bearing 

 flowers which are well-formed, large and double. 

 The color is a light yellow, tinged Avith saffron at 

 the center; very delicately and delightfully per- 

 fumed.
