Hybrid “/ea Koses 
How like ourselves is the rose! At dawn its perfect, dew-kissed bud is as the child new-born, eager for life's trials 
and treasures; at noon, full-blown in all its radiant glory, it is as the youth grown into man, giving and serving in full 
measure; at dusk, weary from the day’s iravel, it is as the man grown old, with petals fading yet gallantly reflecting— 
not bitterly but proudly—the long way he came, the many he lifted up and sent more happily on their way. 
Down through the ages, the rose remains inspiration of poets, soul of songs, symbol of love. Shakespeare wrote 
“‘of all flowers methinks a rose is best.” Of all roses, none surpasses the picture-perfect hybrid tea. For excellence of 
bud form, cutting stem and open flower, the hybrid tea is sheer delight. A rose is born with a talent for arranging itself. 
A bud in a vase is a conversation piece; a dozen or two in almost any container are a masterpiece! 
We have a pet theory that at some time every variety produces its breath-taking, perfect flower. That is perhaps 
the reason so many varieties remain popular year after year and each year intriguing new kinds move in to take their 
place beside the treasured old favorites.
