Hybrid Tea Roses, Everblooming 
When the average person speaks of Roses today, he refers to the Hybrid Teas or 
Pernetianas which are here grouped for convenience under one heading. For the lack 
of a better descriptive word, we have come to call them “Everblooming Roses.” Anyone 
with experience knows that some of the varieties take a rest between three or four main 
flowering periods, so perhaps “recurrent” would better fit their habit of bloom. 
The Hybrid Tea Roses begin to bloom abundantly about ten to twelve weeks after 
they are planted. They continue to produce the finest blooms for bouquets and cut- 
flowers right up until late fall when they are usually at their best. 
The varieties here offered are those most generally successful for outdoor culture. 
They all have their good points. We do not claim to offer every variety worth growing, 
but only the cream of those which grow well under general soil and climatic conditions. 
This saves the inexperienced planter much confusion and insures against making a poor 
selection. For those who want Roses for Roses’ sake, regardless of when they were 
introduced, you will find in our offerings of Hybrid Teas only those whose plant and 
blooming habits can be depended on.
