Website/Catalog (1929) Page(s) 15. 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. Diana. Hybrid Tea. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Silvery flesh-color combined with lemon and cream in the most exquisite shades. Flowers very large and double, of faultless form, with petals of firm texture. Upright habit with healthy and abundant foliage. Remarkably beautiful in color, recalling the silvery old Souvenir de la Malmaison although of more modern form. Opens well in almost all weathers and exceptionally well in autumn. $1.50 each.
