TEA ROSES— Continued 
NIPHETOS—The rarest tea rose in existence—a poor grower. Has very slender double 
snowy white, perfectly pendant roses that last unbelievably long. But remember— 
it is collectors item and has to be left alone with no whacking. I never know from 
year to year whether or not I will be able to offer it. My old plant was propagated

POPPA GONTIER—When this came out rose growers were overjoyed as this was 
almost red with a fairly good bud. Very healthy. 
SNOWBIRD—This came in as a H.T., but even the wood smells of Tea and power- 
fully, too. Its very double small white bloom is true to type as is the typical foliage. 
Its performance is about the same as most other teas including its distaste for 
whacking. I am reclassifying it to where it belongs. Really a honey of a performer 
in all climates. 
THE BRIDE AGS US OyKE pipthis group, this too has that lovely form. It is all 
the tinte 2c 
white, being some o m shading ivory pink. 
WHITE MAMMAN COCHET—This is really a honey of an old Tea as it is a good 
grower and its white always makes me feel that it is part green. Maybe it’s the way 
the light breaks. 
TREE ROSES 
I will have a very few of the regulation height to the union at the top of about 
314 to 4 feet. I will not make any packing charges now as I have evolved a way to 
pack them more easily though they will have to be shipped by express at your expense.

These have taken years to perfect. In the first place a non-suckering root is budded 
with the kind of rose I use for the stem which has to have borer resistance as well as 
perfect health and hardiness. Must have an affinity for the rose that is to grow on it. 
These are six feet to the union of the weeper on top—some of them weep right from 
the union and some have to grow large before they weep down. I will designate the 
type by saying “quick’’ or ‘slow’ weeper. The slow weepers have to get about ten 
feet across before coming to the ground which with these weepers takes to the second 
year though they bloom profusely the first season. Some such as Apeles Mestres are 
almost beyond the imagination as it will make a solid mass of 4-inch yellow double 
blooms from one end of the canes to the other. Naturally this is for a larger area than 
a faster weeper. These do not want anything planted under them but have grass right 
up to the trunk. You should get an inch-thick iron pipe, 9 feet long and drive it in 
the ground three feet deep as the top or head is so tremendously heavy they always 
need support, 
Some are hardy enough for your eastern climate and some are only for the coastal 
areas, such as these three:
