HYBRID TEA ROSE» 
Hybrid-tea, or commonly called ever bloom¬ 
ing roses, have proven to be the most popular 
and useful roses for the garden. Their flowers 
have beautiful form, fragrance and color in be¬ 
wildering variety. The bushes usually grow 
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 Canada, pro¬ 
vided they are properly protected when zero 
weather occurs. 
Our Roses are 2 Year Old Field Grown, 
budded on 3 year old Japonica Multiflora under¬ 
stock. This understock is conceded to be the best 
general one to use because of its vigor, hardiness 
and wide adaptability to varying climatic and 
soil conditions. It is used by leading reputable 
rose growers. Our roses are grown in fertile clay 
in northern Ohio under expert care. Much of a 
plant’s success depends upon its roots. Our soil 
and methods emphasize 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 contract 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 reasonable 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 condi¬ 
tions in your section and the experience of suc¬ 
cessful local gardeners.
