TEA AND FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
These come to us direct from the best Western growers so receive a mini- 
mum of handling between the grower and planter, which is important. 
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 to- 
gether in narrow beds. . 
Hybrid Perpetuals (marked H.P.) are hardier and larger growing bushes. 
but not very continuous bloomers through the summer unless pruned heavilv 
in the spring. . , 
Polyanthas, or Baby Ramblers are hardy but are better with protection 
and are the most continuous blooming of all. 
Floribundas are especially suitable for massing and have considerably 
larger flowers and bushes than the Polyanthas. :
