SUB-ZERO HYBRID TEAS. 
"DEXTERS 
FAVORITE 
1938 
This class has been for 25 years the chief objective of the new scientific 
research work here with Rosa. The final crosses are only beginning and but one 
variety was released in 1935 for budding. In 1936 two others. Shortly there 
will be several each year. Two of the thfcee released are slow growing the first 
year or two after the manner of species seedlings, the third, "Dexters Favorite" 
starts off as a vigorous hybrid tea. 
The features of this new type are, easy to grow, to bloom several times as 
many flowers, much more Vigorous by cumulative growth from year to year, and with 
expectancy of life more than ten times that of the average H.T. budded in the U.S. 
They may be expected to survive'.where temperatures are 25 below zero or more. 
At about 10 below zero the wood will kill back to bed level, but from the eyes 
below, due to special vigor inherited from hardy species, they may develop by 
bloom time to flower more freely than the present H.TS. performing much after the 
manner of herbaceous Peonies. Yfhere sub-zero temperatures do not obtain, certain 
varieties frequently grow to a bush five or more feet and produce 100 or more 
flowers per season. 
Popular features- Inquiry throughtout the country has convinced us that the 
number of amateur gardeners interested in the latest gold medal hybrid teas 
variety is incomparable with the number interested in hybrid teas, easier to grow 
more vigorous, with more flowers of equal merit and with expectancy of more than 
ten times as long life. 
VARIETIES 
Vigorous early growing, robust plant trith large flowers of ten or more rows of 
petals, recurled outside, in orange to apricot shades to lighter flesh tints.

Color spectrum orange to variable shades, dependant upon reasonably cool 
temperatures and moderate humidity. At its best it is one of the most appreciated 
brilliant colors in H.Ts. 
Slightly more vigorous growing the first year or two than the former.

CREEPING OR TRAILING RCSES 
These are a break in type from the present form of trailing roses in that many 
varieties produce flowers of H.T. character of merit. They are very vigorous 
vines for fence, wall or ground cover or for roadside decoration. They have one 
long season 6f bloom frequently expending over about five weeks. Petals one to 
four rows. Limited petalage is prefered to restrict falling petals. The large 
leaflets of shiny ftolly like foliage is abundant, requires no attention and is 
long persistant.

"GOLDEN 
Pyramid " 
1939 
Special character, type of plant which having dual cane system, one vertical 
and the other horizontal, the plants may be grown informally pyramidically, up to 
15 to 25 feet in 3 to 5 years under favorable conditions. Flower similar to 
Golden Climber. Free bloomer in all day sunshine when established. So grown it 
should be tied to a pole by itself on the lawn; it may also be grown as a rambler. 
Under humid conditions the tips may show mildew for a few days late in August, 
thereafter to regain vigorous growth to outgrow American Pillar.
