Standard Varieties oF 
Hybrid Tea Roses, Everbloomins 
When the average person speaks of Roses today, he refers to the Hybrid Teas which are here 
grouped for convenience under one heading. For the lack of a better descriptive word, we have come 
to call them “Everblooming Roses.” Anyone with experience knows that some of the varieties take 
a rest between three or four main flowering periods, so perhaps “recurrent” would better fit their 
habit of bloom. 
The Hybrid Tea Roses begin to bloom abundantly about ten to twelve weeks after they are planted. 
They continue to produce the finest blooms for bouquets and cut-flowers right up until late fall when 
they are usually at their best. 
The varieties here offered are those most generally successful for outdoor culture. They all have 
their good points. We do not claim to offer every variety worth growing but only the cream of those 
which grow well under general soil and climatic conditions. This saves the inexperienced planter much 
confusion and insures against making a poor selection. For those who want Roses for Roses’ sake, 
regardless of when they were introduced, you will find in our offerings of Hybrid Teas only those whose 
plant and blooming habits can be depended on. 
AIVII QUINARD. Very deep velvety black- 
crimson buds open to a semi-double crimson- 
maroon flower with blackish lustre. We like it 
better every year. Very distinct. Fragrant. Vigor¬ 
ous, bushy. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00. 
See cut, page 14. 
CHARLES K. DOUGLAS. A splendid, bright 
red garden Rose, quite large, and moderately fra¬ 
grant. Good non-fading reds with anything like the 
vigor and floriferousness of this variety are still 
scarce. Very vigorous, tall and bushy. No. 1 Grade, 
85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00.

AUTUMN. The burnt-orange buds open to a 
medium-sized golden yellow flower, streaked with 
red. Quite distinct. The fall blooms are superb, 
even though the early ones are not always so good. 
Vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, 
$ 1 . 00 . 
BETTY UPRICHARD. The flowers are semi¬ 
double, large, charmingly ruffled, and present an 
almost startling contrast in coloring. The outside 
of the petals is fiery copper-pink and the inner sur¬ 
face is soft salmon. Very fragrant. Very vigorous, 
tall and bushy. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, 
$ 1 . 00 . 
BRIARCLBFF. A very large, full, well-built 
flower with a rose-pink center and edges of 
petals silvery pink. Because of its fragrance, 
lasting qualities, and long, smooth stems, it is 
ideal for cutting. This is a sport of the well- 
known Columbia. Growth vigorous and up¬ 
right. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, 
$ 1 . 00 . 
CALEDONIA. High-pointed bud opening 
to a pure white, very double, high-centered 
bloom. Moderately fragrant. One of the best 
white Roses, even though some of the early blooms 
occasionally “ball” in wet weather. Very vigorous, 
upright and free branching. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; 
Extra Grade, $1.00. 
CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEOT. This old 
and reliable variety is considered our darkest red. 
The color shades from the richest glowing blood-red 
to almost black, with a velvet-like finish. Color is 
richest in September. Delightfully fragrant. A 
difficult Rose for us to propagate, but grows well 
and lives long when once you get it. Very low and 
spreading. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25.
