TEA AND CHINA ROSES 
The exquisitely graceful Tea Roses, brought originally from China, have given the 
long buds and general grace to the modern Hybrid Tea, which is broadly speaking a 
blend of Tea and Hybrid Perpetual. Therefore in Tea roses you obtain perfection of 
grace and form, this applying to all but a very few extremely double sports of Tea roses, 
such as The Bride, Homere, etc. 
Tea roses need first of all some shade, to keep their delicate but often very vivid 
colors, thus they fit naturally into SHADY gardens. They are not nearly so tender as 1s 
generally supposed and will grow far north of their natural habitat in the U. S., which 
is generally supposed to be confined to those states below the Mason-Dixon line. I have 
a row of Teas 275 feet long, none of which have ever been lost from cold. 
Let your Teas build up into large bushes, merely thinning them as would be done in 
competently pruning a tree, until they have reached the size where they can produce the 
fine large beautiful blossoms of which they are capable, blooms rivaling and exceeding 
scores of expensive modern Hybrid Teas, and all deliciously scented with rich rose 
perfume mingled with the odor of sweet tea.
