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.
Elegante. Hybrid Tea. (Pernet-Ducher, 1918.) Charming, creamy yellow flowers of large size and starry outline, with pointed center and reflexed petals. Plant low, spreading, free blooming in spring and fall; foliage very fine.
Rightly named for its elegance of design and soft, restrained color. Fairly good in summer, but in fall produces flowers of better form and color than in spring. We know of no Rose which surpasses it in sheer beauty of design and modeling; the plant is reasonably well-behaved and makes no unusual demands upon the gardener. It is a gem for any garden.
