Easy to Grow — Long to Live — Save 
Replacement Expense 
These are the famous Brownell Sub-Zero Roses—A New Race of 
hardiness previously unknown in Hybrid Tea Roses. They are more 
vigorous, can live many times longer, are easier to grow, bloom more 
abundantly and more consistently, and their size, form and color 
compare with the best of the common Hybrid Tea Roses. Why? 
Because they are bred back to hardy species. They are super-hardy 
hybrid teas that absolutely won’t kill out even in temperatures that 
dip 25 degrees below zero. The technical meaning of our ‘‘ Sub Zero”’ 
is wood safe to about 15 degrees below zero unprotected; hilled up 
with a little clean dirt 25 degrees below and colder; well hilled up about 
95% safe at 50 degrees below. Because they are so hardy we guarantee 
them unconditionally to live through one year without winter killing. 
Best of all they are free blooming, have long stems with flowers that 
last a long time. We are offering 6 of the best and leading varieties 
in this wonderful New Race of Roses, as follows:
