The Hybrid Tea Roses are recommended for their constant bloom, brilliant colors and exquisite 

 fragrance. Some varieties, such as La France, Duchess of Albany, Meteor, Pierre Guillot, Souvenir de 

 Wootton, etc., are among our best and most satisfactory Roses for general planting indoors and out, but 

 most of the others are of more tender growth, and therefore most suitable for greenhouse culture and grow- 

 ing in pots. They succeed moderately well in favorable situations in open ground, but are not very hardy 

 and cannot be depended on to bear Northern Winters unless carefully protected, and inmost cases had 

 better be taken indoors when convenient before Winter sets in ; their brilliant colors, profuse bloom and 

 delicious sweetness make them particularly desirable for conservatory and house culture.
