In this classification are found the very finest Roses for general garden use and for cutting. We have divided our list into two groups, 
the first being Roses of either recent or comparatively recent introduction that require detailed descriptions, whereas the second group is 
made up of “true and tried” Roses that are too well-known to require anything more than brief color identification. This second group 
(page 84, column 2) includes varieties that will never become obsolete. A good many of them are the backbone of some of the country’s 
finest and most extensive private and municipal Rose gardens. 
The plants of Hybrid Tea Roses, under normal growing conditions, will average 18 to 24 inches high. These plants will bloom con¬ 
tinuously with a heavy bloom in June, scattering bloom all Summer, and another heavy bloom in the early Autumn. All of these Roses 
should be given Winter protection. If given this protection annually in the late autumn, and if given good culture throughout the growing 
season, all varieties of Hybrid Tea Roses may be expected to live for many years, giving hundreds and hundreds of blooms per plant during 
their lifetime. 
Roses that have been patented are so designated. 
PRICES are noted after each individual description. After May 10th, in order to lengthen the planting season, we offer all varieties 
growing in large fiber pots at 25c. each, more than the individual prices quoted. 
Note —All potted Roses are well established plants and are in full leaf when shipped.
