Hybrid Teas. 
These are the true perpetual flowering roses, alike in early summer until late autumn ; they 
are continuously in bloom, and for general garden ornamentation there is nothing to equal them. 
Many of them make most beautiful standards as well as bushes. They are hardy, and unlike 
the H.P.’s, they are almost mildew proof. The best exhibition sorts are marked thus *, and with but 
two or three exceptions these are all good strong growers. When grown for the adornment of the 
garden, severe pruning should be avoided. 
Only those sorts which are priced in the column for standards and 
half-standards can be supplied as such. They are grand plants.
