Properly located and planted, Everblooming Roses give wonderful results 
THE EVERBLOOMING ROSES 
INCLUDING HYBRID TEA, PERNETIANA, AND TEA ROSES 
B Y FAR the larger number of Roses grown in the gardens and dooryards of America 
) are in the so-called “everblooming” class, though it would be much better if the 
class came to be known as including “recurrent-blooming” Roses. The distinction 
between these Roses and all other Roses hardy in the northern part of the United States, 
save the separately mentioned Polyantha class, is that these recurrent-blooming sorts 
furnish flowers on the new growth through the blooming season, and if they are kept growing 
one crop of bloom succeeds another; wherefore they are called “everblooming.” 
Among these Roses are found the results of the utmost endeavors of the great Rose 
hybridizers of the world for the more than half-century since Guillot in 1867 sent out the 
first Hybrid Tea, La France. In this half-century of endeavor, size, form, variety of color, 
fragrance, and general beauty and adaptability have all advanced more than in the previous 
two thousand years of Rose history. 
These Roses are approximately hardy over the intensive garden sections of the United 
States, and are freely grown in Canada and regions as cold with suitable and not difficult 
protection. But though they should not survive a winter, it is the belief of many Rose- 
lovers that these everblooming Roses fully justify themselves within one season, for it is 
entirely practicable to plant Roses early in the spring and to secure from the resulting 
vigorously growing bushes so great a reward in lovely flowers as to far more than repay 
the moderate expenditure involved. 
It is in the production of these most important of all Roses in American gardens that 
skill, experience, and research count for most. Our American-grown, outdoor-reared 
plants, which have not passed a single moment under glass in greenhouses, are budded on 
the best stock known to commerce, and are consequently such as will give assured satis¬ 
faction under proper handling. 
The Hybrid Teas (designated hereafter by the letters HT) include the major part 
of this list, resulting from crosses between the tender Tea Roses and the ruggedly hardy 
Hybrid Perpetual garden Roses. They supply the widest range of beauty in color and 
form, of fragrance and fine habit, and if nurtured and protected as recommended in this 
catalogue, are completely dependable.
