WALSHS HANDBOOK OF ROSES 
HYBRID TEA ROSES Varieties for the Garden 
Roses of the Hybrid Tea class are desirable for garden planting, because they begin blooming early in 
the season and continue to produce beautiful blooms until the frost destroys the buds. This race of Roses 
was created by crossing the Tea with the Hybrid Perpetual varieties. The Hybrid Tea Roses partake of 
the hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetual kinds, and have the free-blooming qualities and graceful form of 
flower of their other parent. All are delightfully fragrant. The blooms of many varieties are as large as those 
of the largest Hybrid Perpetual kinds. The range of color is great—light pink, dark pink, maroon, white 
yellow, and all the other colors dear to lovers of Roses may be had in the Hybrid Teas. 
Many of the new varieties are listed here, together with all of the standard sorts that have real merit. I 
have rejected many recent introductions because I found them inferior to other varieties. Directions for the 
winter care and protection of Hybrid Tea Roses will be found with cultural directions, beginning on page 13.
