 T. 



double or full, slightly fra- 

 grant. An excellent climbing 

 rose, and valuable as a stock 

 on which to bud Teas. 



Moreau-Robert, 1851. Evidently 

 of Buurbon parentage on one 

 side. Creamy - white, often 

 tinted with pink, large or very

Pernet, 1874. Ruse color, very

 highly scented, not very

Moreau-Robert, 1877. Raised

 and rose, reverse of petals 

 tinged with lilac, badly form- 

 ed.
