HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Hybrid-tea, or commonly called ever 
blooming roses, have proven to be the most pop¬ 
ular and useful roses for the garden. Their 
flowers have beautiful form, fragrance and color 
in bewildering variety. The bushes usually grow 
114 to 3 feet high. All the varieties listed here 
are hardy enough to withstand the winter in 
almost all parts of the United States and Cana¬ 
da, provided they are properly protected when 
zero weather occurs. 
Our Roses are 2 Year Old Field Grown, 
budded on 3 year old Japonica Multiflo¬ 
ra understock. This understock is conceded to 
be the best general one to use because of its 
vigor, hardiness and wide adaptability to vary¬ 
ing climatic and soil conditions. It is used by 
leading reputable rose growers. Our roses are 
grown in fertile clay loam soil in northern Ohio 
under expert care. Much of a plant’s success de¬ 
pends upon its roots. Our soil and methods em¬ 
phasize the development of good root systems 
The bushes are regularly sprayed and dusted to 
prevent diseases, thus insuring the purchaser 
healthy, vigorous and hardy plants. 
Many people are under the impression that 
growing roses requires special skill and much 
labor. A rose is like any other living thing, and 
if given half a chance, will reward the grower 
with an abundance of quality blooms. One of the 
most important factors to insure success with 
roses, is to purchase good plants. Bargain, or 
cheap roses, may give results, but their chances 
of re-establishment, growth and bloom are far 
less and in most cases, they die in a year or two. 
The contrast between the results obtained with 
cheap roses and that obtained with planting 
good ones is so great that the difference in price 
is well worth while. 
Having reasonably good soil and good plants 
to start with, preferably fresh from the grower, 
roses will amply reward the purchaser. Roses 
may be planted in the spring as soon as the 
frost is out of the ground. We find that late 
plantings do not do as well as earlier ones. The 
sooner you plant, the sooner your roses will 
bloom. You should be guided by climatic con¬ 
ditions in your section and the experience of 
successful local gardeners.
