HARDY HYBRID 
=  #£«'|TEA ROSES 
A new race of super hardy hybrid teas. Live 
many times longer. Save replacement ex- 
pense. They bloom more abundantly and 
constantly. They are more vigorous and 
easier to grow. Their size, form, and color 
compare with the best. 
V-For Victory 
Read about this interesting experiment and 
know why they live longer. 
In the Fall of 1948 a planting of 25 standard ‘3 
hybrid tea and 25 Sub-Zero Roses was made. 2 
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 PROTEC- 
TION. 
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. 
Climbing roses produce just a few blooms 
the first year but hundreds the second year. 
The hardy sub-zero hybrid tea roses start 
blooming six weeks after planting. 
V FOR VICTORY — The large, very double, 
clear yellow blooms combined with its lovely 
fragrance, makes this Rose a favorite of all 
who have it. Constantly in bloom, it is a yel- 
low that will not fade even in the hottest sun. 
Plant Patent No. 543. 
RED DUTCHESS —Plant Patent No. 846. 
The hybridizer in over 30 years of re- 
search never hoped to produce a rose of 
such exquisite red rose perfection. Such 
captivating fragrance, such colorful per- 
sistent foliage, and robust, sturdy Sub-Zero 
hardiness. Breath-taking in beauty and 
perfection. 
LILY PONS. White with pure yellow 
center, large, graceful flowers of inde- 
scribable delicacy; vigorous, free bloomer. 
Often a feature of gardens in the cold 
Northwest. 
CURLY PINK—Plant Patent No. 842. 
This lovely rose represents a matchless 
combination of size and form of bloom, 
beauty of cluster, constancy, vigor and 
foliage. The best of all pink roses and 
the most profuse bloomer.
