Hybrid Tea Roses
(Abbreviation: H. T.)
Hybrid Tea Roses are free-blooming, hardy, and combine to a large degree the beauty of color of the H. P. with the fragrance and continuance of bloom of the Tea roses.		— Red: 1. General McArthur. A satisfactory bloomer, crimson scarlet. Good for cutting. 2. Gruss an Teplitz. Bright crimson. Pretty foliage. Flowers in clusters on a weak stem. A constant bloomer, and very desirable for that reason, and for the color and form of foliage. White: 1. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Pearly white, tinged with light yellow. A very satisfactory rose. 2. Innocence. White. A good bloomer Pink: 1. Caroline Testout. Very good for color and hardiness. Fragrant; blooms freely. 2. Killarney. A general favorite, because of good color and form, and a continuous bloomer. Subject to mildew. 3. La France. Excellent. Very fragrant. Charming in color. Other excellent pink roses: Lady Ashtown. Killarney Brilliant. Yellow: 1. Duchess of Wellington. Deep yellow and orange. Excellent bloomer. 2. Mrs. Aaron Ward. Indian yellow; free blooming. 3. Marquise de Sinety. A magnificent rose of sunset shades, but not so easily cared for, nor so free blooming, as Duchess of Wellington.

In looking over these lists, perhaps you are wondering why you do not find the name of the rose, American Beauty, so dear to American hearts. The American Beauty rose is not hardy, and is grown under glass, and as we are considering only out-of-door roses, it is not listed.

If you happen to live in the warm climate of the South or in California, you can have the luxury of growing the more tender roses, and I am giving you a list of some of the best Tea roses.

Do not attempt to raise them if you live where there is much snow in winter; a few of these might “winter over” if well protected, but with the many exquisite Hybrid Tea roses, it is only a waste of time for young gardeners to experiment.

List of Tea (Scented)
Roses Tender roses which require extraordinary winter protection in the vicinity of New York. Do not prune severely.		— Red: There are no dark red tea roses, the nearest perhaps being Souvenir de Catherine Guillet, coppery-carmine, shaded with yellow. White: 1. Mrs. Herbert Stevens. Beautiful in form. Sometimes tinged with faint pink shadings. 2. White Mamam Cochet. White, sometimes tinged with pink.
Pink: Mamam Cochet. Hardiest of all Tea roses; excellent for cutting. Free blooming. Duchesse de Brabant. Most fragrant. Silvery pink. Yellow: 1. Lady Hillingdon. Reddish yellow; a beautiful rose. 2. Souvenir de Pierre Notting. Canary-yellow, deeper in center.

Below is a list of Climbing Roses. Climbing roses were brought into existence in a way similar to any of the other new roses.

Hardy Climbing Roses
(For places where the winters bring snow)		— Red:
Excelsa. A great improvement on the Crimson Rambler,
the foliage being nearly free from mildew.
Blooms in June. American Beauty Climbing Rose. Resembling the American Beauty in shade; blooms are of quite good size, on weak stems, but rather good for cutting. A desirable rose, but not for showy effect. Pink: Dorothy Perkins. A splendid rose; grows very rapidly, sometimes 20 feet in a season. Flowers in clusters. Foliage charming. Blooms in June. Debutante. Fragrant, very desirable because blooming sometimes in July, in September and October. Tausendschön. Sometimes called “Rose of a Thousand Blooms.” Flowers early in large clusters. Very hardy; beautiful foliage. Color, blush pink and white. American Pillar. Grows very rapidly. A brilliant pink single rose, borne in clusters. Foliage excellent. White: White Dorothy. Flowers at the same time as the Pink Dorothy Perkins. Yellow: Shower of Gold.

In warmer parts of the country there is a great variety of beautiful climbing roses, among which may be named:

Climbing Roses for the South and Pacific Coast— Pink: Climbing Bridesmaid. Rose pink with crimson shadings, very fragrant. White: Climbing Devoniensis. (“Magnolia Rose.”) Large creamy white roses with pink center. Yellow: Marechal Niel. This well-known magnificent climbing rose bears masses of double fragrant blooms which are excellent for cutting.
