HJORT'S Old-Fashioned TEA ROSES 
SNOWBIRD 
Louis Philippe. (China.) This is a most unusual 
Rose of deep red color. Foliage dark and glossy. 
Compact and vigorous in growth, it is used ex- 
tensively as a hedge Rose and blooms profusely 
over a long season. In fact, in mild seasons it 
blooms throughout the winter in Florida and 
Gulf Coast areas. 
Maman Cochet. Clear silvery pink. Long- 
pointed bud and large, fragrant flower. This 
variety does not grow off so rapidly as such Teas 
as Mrs. Dudley Cross and Mme. Lambard but 
eventually makes fully as large a bush. One of 
the best cut-flower Teas. 
Marie van Houtte. Canary-yellow; petals tipped 
pink. In fall or during a mild winter the flowers 
show an enchanting lavender cast not seen in 
any other Rose. Foliage ts dark and abundant; 
growth vigorous and compact. A very lovely and 
rewarding Tea Rose. 
Mme. Lambard. This Rose is one of the great 
favorites of those who have Tea varieties. In the 
spring it is carmine-pink, shaded salmon, a little 
lighter in summer. In fall it is almost red, when 
It Is mm its glory. A rank grower and profuse 
bloomer over a long season that extends into cool 
weather. A generation ago It was the leader of 
the Tea Rose group, and today there are many 
who still think it is the best. 
Mme. Melanie Soupert. Salmon-yellow, shaded 
pink; very large and very double. Vigorous bush 
with stiff stems. How we wish we had a dark 
pink or red of the same globular form. 
St. Petersburg, Fla.: “I heard Uncle Pasco on the radio 
recommend your Tea roses and mine have done well.”— 
Mrs. I. G. N.

Mrs. B. R. Cant. Deep rose to light red; large, 
double flowers. Vigorous and profuse; bush ts 
one of the largest of all varieties. One of the best 
of Tea Roses, it is a great favorite in many places 
in the South, such as New Orleans, Mobile, 
Florida and the Carolinas. Ranks right along 
with William R. Smith, Baroness Henriette Snoy 
and Mrs. Dudley Cross, and ought to be in every 
Tea Rose collection. 
Mrs. Dudley Cross. Most vigorous of the yellow 
Tea Roses. Canary-yellow, long, Cochet-like 
buds, opening light yellow and gradually develop- 
Ing tints of pimk—a fascinating combination. 
This rank-growing, showy and completely satis- 
factory Tea Rose should start any Tea collection. 
Mrs. Dunlop Best. The most satisfactory and 
rewarding new Tea Rose since Baroness Henriette 
Snoy. Saffron-yellow with apricot shadings. Bud 
long pointed; flower large, double, fragrant. 
Perhaps Mrs. Dunlop Best is best described as a 
glorified Safrano, being larger and deeper in color. 
A good cut-flower Tea, much admired by those 
who have seen Tea Roses in our gardens and 
frelds the past few years. 
Mrs. Herbert Stevens. Long-pointed, white bud 
slightly tinged pink opens into a pure paper-white 
flower, fairly large and double. Typical strong 
Tea growth and free bloom. 
Safrano. Saffron-yellow. Very vigorous bush and 
free bloomer. A very old, dependable Tea, ap- 
preciated where known. 
Snowbird. Bud long pointed; flower double, fra- 
grant, white with creamy center. Foltage leathery 
and, like other Teas, highly resistant to blackspot. 
Many consider it the finest white Tea Rose. 
Being an “old” variety is nothing against a plant. 
Rather, the old varieties that remain in favor occupy a 
unique position, for they stay with us strictly on merit.
