CHINA OR BENGAL ROSES 
Here are included Roses of dwarf but 
vigorous habit, and continual bloomers. They 
need light protection north of Washington, 
though Hermosa is as hardy anywhere as the 
Hybrid Tea Roses. 
These Roses have very fine wood and are 
difficult to propagate by budding. Some of the 
plants will, therefore, be on their own roots. 
The China or Bengal Roses are $1 each for strong 
field-grown plants

phur-yellow blooms.
