The Ever-blooming Teas are a very important class and among our most beautiful and valuable Roses 

 for general planting; tney begin to bloom almost as soon as planted, and continue throughout the whole 

 season ; they are noted for their exquisite delicacy of coloring, which includes the charming tea shades of 

 yellow, fawn and cream; also for their delightful fragrance, which surpasses that of all other Roses ; they 

 are not entirely hardy, and will not usually bear Northern Winters without shelter or careful protection ; but 

 some varieties are more hardy than others, and in favorable situations they often survive for many years, 

 and many people keep them successfully by covering with leaves or brush, or by lifting and storing them 

 in the cellar. It is from this class of Roses that we get all the best varieties for house culture and growing 

 under glass ; those particularly recommended for forcing for cut flowers are marked with an asterisk (*). 

 The varieties described below are believed to be the best now known for general use; they are mostly 

 strong, vigorous growers; constant and profuse bloomers; producing lovely buds and flowers of the most 

 exquisite shades and surpassing sweetness ; their first season's bloom more than repays their entire cost, 

 and they are so easily and cheaply replaced, that if you can't keep them over, it pays to get them new every 

 year; they are so exquisitely beautiful that no lover of Roses will willingly do without them.
