TEA AND FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
These come to us direct from the best Western growers so receive a mini- 
mum of handling between the grower and planter, which is important. 
All this group should have winter protection. Bank up with earth 8 inches 
or more and cover with any available material, preferably something which 
will stay loose. 
Hybrid Teas (marked H.T.) are constant bloomers and the finest Clone 
but need best winter protection. They are usually planted quite close to- 
gether in narrow beds. 
Hybrid Perpetuals (marked H.P.) are hardier and larger growing bushes 
but not very continuous bloomers through the summer unless pruned heavily 
in the spring.
