HARDY HYBRID TEA ROSES 
A new race of super hardy hybrid teas. Live many times 
longer. Save replacement expense. They bloom more 
abundantly and constantly. They are more vigorous and 
easier to grow. Their size, form, and color compare with 
the best. 
Read about this interesting experiment and know why they 
live longer. 
In the Fall of 1948 a planting of 25 standard hybrid tea and 
25 Sub-Zero Roses was made. No winter protection of any 
kind was given either planting. Results Spring 1949, after 
10° to 15° below winter temperatures—not one standard 
hybrid tea was alive; but ALL 25 Sub-Zero Roses were alive 
and bloomed profusely. THEY WILL EASILY STAND 15° 
below ZERO WITHOUT WINTER PROTECTION. 
Sub-Zero Roses are fine for the south too, because they are 
more resistant to mildew and black spot. Our heavy two-year 
plants will produce many blooms this year and hundreds 
next year.
