Favorite Roses of Old-Fashioned Gardens 
One of the treasures of old-time southern gardens is the wealth of Tea Roses which adorned 
them. The Tea Rose is the original everblooming or monthly Rose. It is particularly well 
suited to southern gardens, and under good conditions almost all varieties will grow into 
large, handsome bushes continually in bloom. Unfortunately, modern fashion has tended 
toward new introductions of Hybrid Teas, none of which equals in continuity of bloom and 
exquisite loveliness the old-fashioned Teas so truly adapted to our climate. On this page we 
offer a representative selection of some of the finest old Tea Roses, all of which grow easily, 
bloom abundantly, and are ideally adapted to southern conditions. 
Strong, 1-yr. plants from 2y 2 -in. pots, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
2-yr. plants from 4-in. pots, 35 cts. each, $3 per doz.
