HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Hybrid-tea, or commonly called monthly 
blooming roses, have proven to be the most pop¬ 
ular and useful roses for the garden. Their 
flowers have beautiful form, fragrance and color 
in bewildering variety. The bushes usually grow 
114 to 3 feet high. All the varieties listed here 
are hardy enough to withstand the winter in 
almost all parts of the United States and Cana¬ 
da, provided they are properly protected when 
zero weather occurs. 
Our roses are budded on Japonica Multiflo¬ 
ra understock. This understock is conceded to 
be the best general one to use because of its 
vigor, hardiness and wide adaptability to vary¬ 
ing climatic and soil conditions. It is used by 
leading reputable rose growers. Our roses are 
grown in fertile clay loam soil in northern Ohio 
under expert care. M'uch of a plant’s success de¬ 
pends upon its roots. Our soil and methods em¬ 
phasize the development of good root systems 
The bushes are regularly sprayed and dusted to 
prevent diseases, thus insuring the purchaser 
healthy, vigorous and hardy plants. 
Many people are under the impression that 
growing roses requires special skill and much 
labor. A rcse is like any other living thing, and 
if given half a chance, will reward the grower 
with an abundance of quality blooms. One of the 
most important factors to insure success with 
roses, is to purchase good plants. Bargain, or 
cheap roses, may give results, but their chances 
of re-establishment, growth and bloom are far 
less and in most cases, they die in a year or two. 
The contrast between the results obtained with 
cheap roses and that obtained with planting- 
good ones is so great that the difference in price 
is well worth while. 
Having reasonably good soil and good plants 
to start with, preferably fresh from the grower, 
roses will amply reward the purchaser. We most 
urgently recommend fall planting. The advan¬ 
tages of fall planting are many. The sap is ceas¬ 
ing to flow; the plants are becoming dormant 
and are about to go into their winter rest. The 
ground can be worked easily in the £a!ll, for 
there are no hard, frozen lumps to break up. 
Usually there is plenty of moisture in the soil, 
and artificial watering will not be needed. The 
gardener has more time in autumn than in 
spring. Our fall digging begins about the mid¬ 
dle of October and roses, may be purchased any 
time after that. Complete planting instructions 
sent with each order.
