BRIDE, THE. 



Species — P. albiflora. Originated by Terry. 



Donated by B. H. Farr, and Peterson Nurseries. 



Description in brief — Medium size, loose, informal bomb with lilac white guards 

 and milk white center. Midseason. Extra good for landscape work; poor 

 commercial bloom. 



Description in detail — Linear petals next to guards widening toward center, with 

 an occasional linear petal in center of bloom. This is not a typical bomb 

 bloom, in fact, it does not come clearly within any particular class; it is loose 

 and informal and could hardly be called a rose, due to presence of carpels 

 (pale green with pink stigmas) and the clearly differentiated collar. Odor 

 pleasant. 



Strong growing plant, medium length and strength of stem,, good habit. 

 Free bloomer in clusters.
