TEA AND NOISETTE SECTION. 
These may well be called the ‘‘fair sex” roses, because the flowers are so dellcately-beautlful 
and refined as to be unrivalled. They are ever-blooming from May to November. A slight protection 
In the form of brake or bracken, tucked into the heads of the plants, should be given in very severe 
weather; dwarf plants may be earthed up like celery. 
A high position and good porous soil suit them best, and undoubtedly the finest flowers are 
produced on HALF-STANDARDS, whether in the open ground or in pots. They like liberal treatment 
in manuring, and when planted in masses nothing can be more beautiful. 
If large blooms are required for exhibition, teas must be closely pruned, leaving only about 
three eyes on each shoot, but if grown for garden ornamentation very little pruning is 
required, cutting away only the weakest wood. For this class we advise good decomposed 
stable manure. 
The varieties in this section specially recommended for exhibition are marked thus *, and with 
but two or three exceptions they are all good strong growers. 
Only those sorts which are priced in the column for standards and half- 
standards can be supplied as such.
