Burgess’ Hardy Roses 
We handle the most select varieties of Roses, and are offering both two-year-old field-grown 
and one-year-old pot-grown plants. As for hardiness in the North and quality of blooms on 
established plants there is very little choice. For those customers who are not familiar with 
the difference between these two classes, we list here a brief outline of the advantages of each. 
The one-year Roses listed in this catalog are grown on their own roots and when ready to 
send out are smaller than field grown stock. They are produced at lower cost than field grown 
plants and are sold for less. They are the only type that can be furnished in one-year stock. 
The greenhouse grown plants are shipped in full leaf and may be transplanted during any sea¬ 
son of the year. As field grown stock cannot sometimes be held dormant after the middle of 
May, late orders will be filled with two-year-old pot-grown plants. 
Our two-year Roses are nearly all budded. The selection of strong understocks will make 
sturdy plants out of normally weak growing varieties. The understock is grown one year, 
budded the second and sold the third, being grown in the field during all stages. Being older 
and stronger plants, they will produce much quicker results. They are dormant when shipped, 
and therefore, easier to handle. 
Our field grown stock is all Northern grown, to assure our customers of receiving the hardiest 
type of plants. Northern stock will also give the utmost of satisfaction when planted in either 
the South or West. 
Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses 
These roses are the result of crossing the tender everblooming Tea Roses with the hardy Hybrid 
Perpetuals or “June Roses.” These roses are hardy and of vigorous growth, but should be given 
winter protection in the Northern States by hilling the soil up around the plants to a depth of 
6 or 8 inches and covering with loose clean straw or leaves. They have the size of flower and 
exquisite fragrance of the “June Rose,” combined with the constant blooming qualities, delicate 
tints and rich bright colors of the “Tea” or Monthly Blooming Roses. In other words, they 
inherit the good points of both the Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals, and bloom continually from 
early summer until fall frosts set in. Both our one-year and two-year-okl plants, set out this 
spring, will bloom this year. The two-year-old plants should have an abundance of roses.
