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.
