HYBRID TEA ROSES.

THE CHOICEST HYBRID TEA ROSES. 



THIS is a comparatively new class^ the result of a union between the Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals. In this 

 class will be found many varieties famous for their vigor, profuseness, brilliancy and exquisite fragrance of 

 flowers. They combine the valuable characteristics of both the Teas and the Hybrid Perpetuals, inasmuch 

 as they bloom freely the first year, like an ordinary Ever-blooming Tea Rose, 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.

Docteur Reymont. 



This is a very handsome Rose, noted for being a hardy 

 ever-bloomer, which is a very desirable class that we do not 

 have many of; produces extra-large, very beautiful flowers, 

 somewhat flat in form, but very full and regular, almost per- 

 fect shape ; color bright shining vermilion red ; remarkably 

 brilliant and striking ; reverse of petals elegantly clouded with 

 rich violet crimson ; exceedingly sweet. Excellent for open- 

 ground planting; reasonably hardy, but requires covering in 

 cold localities. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i.

A GRAND NEW FREE-BLOOMING HARDY ROSE. 



Belle Siebrecht. 



Another year's trial of this lovely new Hybrid Tea Roes 

 convinces us that this variety possesses extraordinary value 

 for amateur cultivation. It is hardy with slight protection, 

 is as pretty in form as La France or Duchess of Albany, 

 and if anything a freer bloomer than either. There is hardly 

 a day, whether in open ground or indoors, that it is without 

 buds or flowers. The ', ^ant commences to bloom when 

 quite young, and continues throughout the entire 

 growing season to produce its glorious flowers in 

 great abundance. The flowers are extra large, ex- 

 ceedingly graceful and full and double;, our illustra- 

 tion is an exact reproduction of a photograph, and 

 is in no way exaggerated. The buds are charmingly 

 made, being long and pointed. Indeed both the 

 open flower and bud are exquisitely beauti- 

 ful. The color is entirely distinct — a bril- 

 liant rich deep pink. In all parts of the 

 world it has received the highest praise, and 

 wherever seen has created great enthusiasm. 

 In the open ground it grows strong and 

 sturdy, and blooms with wonderful freedom. 

 Truly it is a grand Rose of Vemarkable merit. 

 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for ^i. Two- 

 year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



Countess of Pembroke.* 



Flowers large and of exquisite form, very 

 full and sweet; color soft satiny pink, ele- 

 gantly shaded violet red. 20 cts. each. 



Duchess of Albany,* 



or Red La France. 

 This is a superb new Rose ; resembles La 

 France, but is more vigorous in growth and 

 much deeper in color, hence the name Red 

 La France seems very appropriate. It is a 

 continuous and very free bloomer, producing 

 a great abundance of lovely buds and flow- 

 ers all through the season. The flowers are 

 extra large, elegant in form, very double and 

 full, and remarkably fragrant; color brilliant 

 rose pink, exquisitely shaded; it is highly 

 recommended as one of the largest, sweetest 

 and best Roses for general planting, both in 

 open ground and for greenhouse culture ; it 

 belongs to the Hybrid Tea class, but is usu- 

 ally placed with the Hybrid Perpetuals, be- 

 cause it resembles them in form and habit of 

 growth, etc.; it is reasonably hardy, but 

 should have a good covering of leaves or 

 straw before severe weather. 15 cts. each ; 

 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. 



Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) can be furnished in two-year-oM plants at 35 cts. each: these plants, owing to their 

 size, cannot be sent by Mail, and will be sent by Express at purchaser's expense.
