Hybrid Tea=Scented Roses. 
This class is largely on the increase, and furnishes some of the finest, most constant and best 
varieties for exhibition and garden decoration. They are very early and late flowering, most of them 
make good standards, and many kinds are specially valuable for massing. They are hardy in an 
ordinary season, but would require a little protection during a severe winter, much in the same way 
as Teas (see “ Protecting,” page 7). 
PRUNING. —If grown for exhibition, or if large specimen blooms are required rather than a 
quantity of flowers, the plants should be cut hard back, and may be treated much in the same way as 
advised for the Hybrid Perpetuals (seepage 12 ). If for garden decoration only, cut out bad and 
weak wood and shorten the longest shoots a little. Some varieties are useful only as garden and 
decorative Roses ; in such cases special treatment for pruning is given with description.
