HYBRID TEA KXovses 
© ECLIPSE 
These are the Roses one chooses for the elegant 
bud and handsome open flower, for cutting and 
for exhibition. A single bud for a vase, or an 
armload for a basket! The range of color is 
widest in the Hybrid Teas, and the greatest 
efforts of the hybridizers to produce more perfect 
flowers, stems, foliage and growth have been 
concentrated on this group, giving such mar- 
velous varieties as Peace, Charlotte Armstrong, 
Chrysler Imperial and Mojave. 
Hybrid Teas will continue to be our pride and 
joy as Roses for vases and for the flower shows.
