HYBRID TEA ROSES 
HYBRID TEA or H.T. roses are those that bloom 
intermittently during the summer, sometimes called 
“everblooming.” 
Roses are easily grown, but never plant them 
carelessly. Plant them in a hole that is large 
enough so as not to cramp the roots. Place the soil 
about the roots; add plenty of water and pack 
firmly. A little well-rotted manure, mixed with the 
soil, is very beneficial. Don't expect roses that are 
planted in April or May to start growing in a week 
or ten days; give them at least three weeks to start.

Here are two full pages of No. 1 Roses. When we say NUMBER ONE, we mean that the roses have 
strong unwaxed canes and a mass of vigorous roots containing many small fibrous roots that enable the 
plant to get the much needed start when first planted. We would also like to call your attention to the 
fact that early plantings bring early flowers. Hot weather plantings are never as good as when planted
