Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Viscountess Folkestone. Hybrid Tea. (Bennett, 1886.) Very large, well-formed flowers of creamy pink, shaded with salmon and deepening at center; very double and slightly fragrant. Plant makes good growth, with fair foliage, and blooms freely.
One of the oldest and most charming Hybrid Teas. It has a rather slender flower-stem and foliage which requires protection against disease, but is quite worth having.

Viscountess Folkestone. An old variety whose popularity seems to grow with the passing years. The flowers are very large, perfectly formed, and open well; their color is creamy white, passing to salmon-pink, and slightly darker in the center than at the petal edges.
