Everblooming Bedding Roses. 
(Teas and Hybrid Teas.) 
PRICES, by mail postpaid, each, 10c; three for 28c; 
six for 60c; twelve for $1.00. 
The roses given under this class are mostly the result 
of crosses 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 tirst year like ordinary Ever-blooming 
Tea Roses, 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. 
Aggripina. — Deep crimson, very hardy and free flower- 
ing; an old garden favorite. 
Bon Silene. — This remarkable Rose was introduced 
in 1S39, and up to this time no new variety has super- 
seded it, a fact that bears umple testimony of its valu- 
able qualities. It is superb in every way. Perhaps the 
most noted feature is the immense size and beauty of 
its buds, which cannot be surpassed for bouquets and 
decorative purposes. The color is deep rose, sometimes 
bright rosy crimson, occasionally pale light rose. In the 
open ground it grows to perfection, producing crop after 
crop of its beautiful flowers in unbroken continuity, 
from (‘ally spring until late in Autumn. Of all the 
Teas there is none better. 
Bride. — The favorite white tea rose for forcing. A 
most beautiful and appropriately named variety. 
Bridesmaid. — A delightful new Tea Rose, a sport from 
the old and popular pink Tea. Catharine Mermet, hut 
of a fine, clear, dark pink, much deeper and more con- 
stant in color than Mermet; very desirable; does exceed- 
ingly well lu the open ground and is also valuable for 
forcing. 
BURBANK, A Hardy New Everblooming Rose. — This 
lovely rose was raised by Mr. Luther Burbank, of 
California, known the world over as the “Wizard of 
Horticulture,’’ and is the only variety out of seventy- 
five thousand crossbred seedlings which be raised, that 
be was willing should bear bis name. The color is de- 
scribed as cherry crimson — it is, in other words, the very 
deepest and brightest pink rose in cultivation. It is pe- 
culiarly adapted for both outdoor planting or for bloom- 
ing in pots in the house during winter. It is a strong, 
vigorous grower, making well-rounded bushy plants. 
The Burbank Rose is very hardy, and will stand quite 
severe weather. This is a decided point in its favor 
over so many of our other roses, they being too tender 
to withstand extreme cold. The Burbank is without 
doubt one of the most free flowering in cultivation. It 
commences t® bloom when only a few inches high, and 
blooms throughout the season until stopped by freezing 
weather. The flowers are double, three inches across, 
and the whole flower is most pleasing in its rich beauty, 
and is delightfully fragrant. 
Catharine Mermet. — Distinct and beautiful. — A very 
beautiful Tea Rose, valued highly for its elegant buds; 
color clear shining pink, with delieutcly shaded amber 
and fawn centre; large globular flowers; one of the very 
finest varieties; a strong healthy grower and a good 
bloomer; equally desirable both for open ground planting 
and forcing under glass. 
CAROLINE MARNIESSE. — Au absolutely hardy rose 
that is always in flower. As a continuous bloomer we 
have never found an equal, among other hardy roses, of 
this variety. Even during a dry season when other 
roses are producing but little bloom the Caroline Mar- 
niesse seems Hut little affected. There is scarcely a 
day from the last of May till the middle or latter part 
of October when this variety does not show a consider- 
able quantity of buds or flowers. The color is pure 
white, slightly tinged with pink, flowers of medium size, 
produced in clusters, very double, is of low-growing hab- 
it: and especially adapted for a border. lias sustained 
continued temperature of 20 to 25 degrees below zero 
without iujury. 
Niphctos. — This still holds the lead as being t lie most 
elegant white Rose. The buds are three inches loug. It 
Is positively startling in size and purity, and is always 
scarce. 
Perle des Jardins. — This mngnificent yellow Tea Rose 
still retains its position as one of the very finest and 
most beautiful Roses of its color ever introduced; the 
demand for it constantly increases as its great value 
becomes better known, more plants being wanted year 
by year. The color is clear golden yellow, an inde- 
scribably rich and beautiful shade, and entirely distinct 
from any other variety; the flowers are extra large; full 
globular form, with great depth ami substance, richly 
perfumed and exquisitely beautiful In every way. Suc- 
ceeds well in open ground, but is especially valuable for 
forcing for cut flowers. 
Sunset. — This grand Rose is a great favorite wherever 
known; the color is a rich golden amber of old gold, ele- 
gantly shaded with dark ruddy crimson, resembling the 
beautiful tints seen in a Summer sunset, hence its 
name; the flowers and buds are of extra large size, very 
full and finely formed and deliciously perfumed; it is 
a strong and vigorous grower and free bloomer, highly 
recommended both for open ground and house culture,

er, immense bloomer, bearing flowers and buds early and 
late. The flowers are very deep, rich and full, excellent

most beautiful of yellow Tea Roses for general planting 
ever introduced. Remarkably hardy, both as to heat

tinuous crop of flowers from £arly Summer until late In

ion formed of it when first seen by us. It Is with the 
greatest pleasure, therefore, we announce to our cus- 
tomers we can confidently recommend it ns being en- 
tirely hardy, equaling the tender sorts in profusion of 
bloom. From early Summer until frost it may be de- 
pended upon to produce flowers in abundance. In color 
it is a rich, glossy pink, delightfully fragrant, and is 
such a strong, vigorous grower that it is almost Impreg- 
nable against attacks of the insects which usually de- 
stroy some of our finest Roses. Thus it is certain to 
be unequaled for the garden. Every shoot is loaded 
witli flowers.

riety, when used as a bedding Rose in Summer, has no

abundance, and have the requisite form and substance 
to withstand our hot, dry Summers. Exquisitely fra
