SINGLE ROSES 
Single Roses 
T he Single Everblooming Roses have a chaste beauty that appeals strongly to Rose fanciers and are 
often called “Irish Singles,” although not all are of Irish origin. They are the loveliest of all garden 
Roses for use in the house. For table decoration especially, they have a daintiness and charm un¬ 
equaled by any other llower. To enjoy them indoors, cut the buds when the color first shows and let them 
open in the house, where their lovely colors will last for several days. They are ideal boutonnieres. Wc list 
below the finest collection of Single Hybrid Teas in this country. 
CECIL. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1926.) Large, single flow¬ 
ers of buttercup-yellow, produced both early and late.

single variety. 5 petals. $1 each.

Tea Roses 
T hese arc the original Everblooming Roses from which the Hybrid Teas, described in preceding 
sections, have descended. They are best suited to the warmer parts of the country, and southern 
planters should rely on them to a large extent because of their continuous bloom, resistance to 
disease, and their great beauty of flower.
