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.
Alexander Emslie. Hybrid Tea. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1918.) A ruby-crimson flower of moderate size, globular shape, and delicious fragrance. The plant grows freely under most conditions and blooms well; foliage dark and apparently quite resistant to disease.
A good Rose, practically unknown in this country, although its clear ruby color should commend it for more extensive planting. Valuable chiefly for garden decoration but when disbudded will produce large and perfect blooms.
