Roses for Outdoor Planting 
The fashion of garden Roses has changed very much the past few years, Rose buyers 
haying discovered that the Hybrid Perpetual Roses, while they give a wonderful wealth of 
Roses in June, are of no use for the balance of the year. The demand today is for 
varieties that will furnish cut flowers from May to November; the only type of Roses 
that will do this are the Teas and Hybrid Teas. 
We have been appointed the sole American Agent for Hugh Dickson, Ltd., of Relfast, 
Ireland, for the dissemination of their marvelous Rose Novelties, and this puts us in a 
position to supply any quantity and practically any variety desired. 
The best Roses in the world today are grown in Ireland. This is an undisputed fact, 
and we are in a position to supply these Roses at the same price as the introducer, saving 
the American growers the cost of packing, ocean freight and custom charges. Stock is

The cultivation of Hybrid Tea Roses is as follows: 
They should be set out in a good, open spot, where the sun will strike them for an 
hour or more during the day. A clay loam is thought to be the ideal soil, though Hybrid 
Tea Roses will thrive in a very much lighter soil than some other Roses. Set the plants 
out twelve inches apart when the ground can be readily worked in the Spring, and cut them 
back to about four eyes. As the different crops of flowers develop they should be cut before 
the petals drop, because this enables the plant to break out again and produce continuous 
crops so much desired. With good soil and, as before stated, setting the plants a foot 
apart, they will give a good show of flowers throughout the Summer. 
Very late in the Fall, after the frost has taken all the leaves off the plants, the long 
shoots can be trimmed back and the beds covered with four or five inches of dry leaves. 
The ideal way is to surround the bed with wire netting and put the leaves inside. This 
will obviate their being blown away. When treated 
in this manner practically all Hybrid Teas will come 
through the Winter in perfect condition.
