HYBRID TEA ROSES. 
These are produced by crossing Tea Roses and Hybrid Perpetuals. La France is of this class, and is 
probably more highly prized than any other Rose. They are not quite as robust as the Hybrid Perpetua.s 
but sufficiently so to endure our climate with a little protection in winter. 
Captain Christy—Very tender,flesh colored,center of deepertint; very large,Centifolia Rose-shaped; fine. 
Charles Margottin—A seedling from Jules Margottin, reddish crimson ; form semi-cupped, very large 
fud and sweet, retains color well and is a very fine bloomer ; foliage slightly crimped.

grance. A showy, good Rose, both in bud and flower. 
Duchess of Connaught—Silvery rose, of large globular form, highly scented. Both in color and fra 
grance this variety resembles La France, but the flowers are more circular and the foiiage larger. 
If it proves sufficiently distinct from La France, it will be a great addition. 
Duchess of Westminster—Carmine-rose, large, full flowers, with a faint Tea odor. This retains very 
nearly the same shade of colors as Marquise de Castellane, which is not common among the Teas. 
La France—Delicate silvery rose ; erv large and full; an almost constant bloomer, equal in delicacy to 
a Tea Rose ; the most pleasing fragrance of all roses ; a moderate grower ; semi-hardy. 
Jean Sisley—Lilac-rose; large or very large; very full, without fragrance. A very free bloomer, always 
in flower, but having too much substance it is not valuable for forcing, the buds not opening well; 
probably it will be more valuable for open air culture than for the house. 
Michael Saunders—Free or moderate. Bronzed rose, a distinct color ; large, beautifully-formed flow¬ 
ers, which, from their great fullness, do not always open well under glass, but are fine in open air; 
somewhat fragrant.

perfumed ; growth slender.

pure white ; flowers very double and full; a free bloomer and very sweet.

color overlapping the other, gives it a most lovely appearance ; very distinct and beautiful. It is a 
constant bloomer and very fragrant.
