Fairfax Roses — The Aristocrats of Rosedom 
TEA ROSES 
This class of Roses is distinguished by a delicate tea fragrance and an absolutely ever- 
blooming habit. Most varieties are not so hardy as the Hybrid Tea class, but they may be 
carried through the winter even in the Northern States with careful protection, banking up 
with soil probably being the most satisfactory method. The Cochet varieties are nearly 
or quite as hardy as the Hybrids.
