OTHER ROSES 
These come to us direct from the best Western growers so receive 
a minimum of handling between the grower and planter, which is im- 
portant. 
All this group should have winter protection. Bank up with earth 
8 inches or more and cover with any available material, preferably 
something which tends to keep them dry. 
Hybrid Teas (marked H.T.) are constant bloomers and the finest 
colors, but need best winter protection. They are usually planted quite 
close together in narrow beds. 
Hybrid Perpetuals (marked H.P.) are hardier and larger growing 
bushes, but not very continuous bloomers through the summer unless 
pruned heavily in spring. 
Polyanthas, or Baby Ramblers are hardy but are better with pro- 
tection and are the most continuous blooming of all. 
Floribundas are especially suitable for massing and have considerab- 
ly larger flowers and bushes than the Polyanthas.
