HYBRIDS 
TEAS AND EVERBLOOMERS 
This class of roses usually needs winter protec¬ 
tion; this can be easily provided by making a 
mound of earth a few inches up the bush, or if the 
bush be large, the use of cornstalks, straw or bur¬ 
lap tied tightly around the bush will afford the 
necessary protection. This must be removed in 
the spring when danger of freezing is past. These 
roses bloom for a longer season than the Perpetuals 
and are the true Everbloomers.
