Favorite Roses of Old-Fashioned Gardens 
O NE of the treasures of old-time Southern gardens was the wealth of Tea and China 
Roses which adorned them. These are the original Monthly, or Everblooming Roses. 
They are particularly suited to Southern gardens and will grow into large, handsome 
bushes continually in bloom. 
The highly colored Hybrid Teas caused these old Roses to be neglected for a while, but 
the desire for them is returning and the demand today is greater than ever. 
We have a fine selection of these old Roses, all of which are easy to grow, bloom abundantly, 
and are ideally suited to Southern conditions. Own-root plants.
