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 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.
