Every grown man and woman cherishes 
some memory of the fragrant, unsophis- 
s , ae charm of the Roses of long ago. 
Plant and treat them as low-growing 
shrubs attaining a height of 3 to 5 feet, 
e regulated by yearly pruning or “thinning 
out.” Or they may be set together as 
specimens to liven what may otherwise 
be a dull shrubbery border.

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, sub- 
stantial species strains were used for breeding them many years ago; that is why they have 
lasted down through the years.
