Hybrid Tea-Scented Roses. 
1 his 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 5). 
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 
m the same way as advised for the Hybrid Perpetuals (see page 9). If for garden decora- 
tion_ 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 
5r pruning is given with description.
