TEA ROSES 
These are the original Everblooming Roses from which the Hybrid Teas described in the previous 
sections have descended. They are less hardy and need careful protection in severe climates, but they bloom 
more freely. These Roses are suited best to the warmer parts of the country, and southern planters should 
rely upon them to a large extent because of their continuous bloom, resistance to disease, and their great 
beauty of flower. In the North they make fine pot-plants. 
All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10, $80 per 100, for field-grown plants
