a 
Standard or Cree Roses 
Tree Roses can be planted in beds with your other Roses. They 
occupy little or no ground space. They add greatly to the beauty of 
any Rose garden, and they can be used with delightful effect along 
driveways. Our plants are budded on selected, heavy, straight, 342-foot 
stems. They will bloom all summer and until frost just as the bush 
Hybrid Teas. We offer only those varieties which bloom freely. Many 
Hybrid Tea Roses are not suited to be grown as standards and they 
are not offered. Tree Roses give an added look of distinction to any 
garden, providing an additional dimension.

Sweet Scented Cea Roses 
For Our Gulf State Customers 
Especiaily grown for those hot locations where the modern Hybrid Tea 
Roses do not thrive. 
This group of Roses is perfectly adapted to the hot, moist summers of 
the lower South, including Florida, and soils that are sandy, although the 
Teas grow all over the entire South in any good Rose soil. 
Tea Roses were brought te Europe from China’s gardens in the late 1700's. 
In northern Europe, they were not well received but in southern France, 
they found conditions of climate and soil suitable and rapidly gained favor. 
Soon they were brought to America. They did thrive in the North, but 
once planted in the South, especially along the Gulf and coastal areas, 
became immensely popular and outlived other classes of Roses.
