10 GEMS OF THE ROSE 
WORLD, BELOVED BY ALL 
ROSE COLLECTORS 
ron $14,50 
(Regular value $20.00) 
All are noted for their Old-fashioned 
Rose perfume and fragrance. They also 
lend themselves to the most colorful 
and harmonious floral arrangements 
in low bowls. 
China, Bengal, Tea, Bourbon and Noisette Roses 
Most of these are the original “Everblooming” or Monthly Roses. The old-fashioned Chinas and Teas are low and 
bushy in growth, similar to the more modern Hybrid Teas. Thought at one time to be tender for northern states, they 
have proved to be as hardy as any of our Roses. The foliage of these five classes is more resistant to disease because 
solid, substantial species strains were used for breeding them many years ago; that is why they have lasted down 
through the years.
