We have not seen a Rose that has met with such universal appreciation by both the amateur and professional grower, and has won awards in almost every place shown since it was introduced, both in this country and Europe. The color is one very hard to describe, being a shade of brilliant clear rose or bright peach-pink. It is a wonderful grower and bloomer, producing great numbers of strong shoots, each shoot tipped with a bud. These shoots form the stem, from 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers are very large, well formed and full, petals of good sub- stance. A very fine garden Rose, as well as a forcing Rose.
