“Started” Roses in Pots for Late May 
and Early Summer Planting Include 
Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals, Poly- 
anthas, Climbers and Ramblers Only 
The majority of our Roses are sold and shipped as dormant plants with 
roots bare and packed in damp sphagnum moss. However, we have many 
varieties available that were potted in winter to permit late planting when they 
are in leaf and bud. There are none finer to fill in vacancies. 
When orders are received too late in the season for dormant Roses in 
certain varieties, we will, unless otherwise instructed, use the potted plants. 
They are safely transported in waterproof paper pots, standing up in a wooden 
crate and sent Express Collect. We do not, however, charge extra for these 
“‘started’”’ Roses in regular size pots.
