The following roses are all Hybrid Teas. They will bloom all summer long. 
Every one is selected for out-door growing, and adapted to farm belt conditions. They 
should start blooming within 60 days after planting. These roses should be planted 6 
inches deeper than they grow in the nursery. They need good, rich soil and full sun 
for best results. 
Our Roses are all 2 years old, strong field Northern grown, and are equal to any
