THE NOVELTY OF THE SEASON 



THIS sensational and magnificent new climbing 

 rose occurred as a sport from the well-known 

 ^ Pink Cherokee (Rosa Sinica, var. Anemone). 

 It is a stronger and more rampant grower than its 

 parent, and produces during the spring and early 

 summer months flowers in such profusion as to entirely 

 cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop 

 of bloom. The flowers are much larger than either 

 the pink or white forms, with brilliant golden-yellow 

 stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crim- 

 son color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and 

 effective; the foliage is absolutely mildew- proof, a 

 rich, glossy green, so bright that it appears as though 

 varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertise- 



ment in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms 

 and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty strongei 

 than mere words. 



The original sport occurred on the nurseries of 

 Messrs. Dieterich & Turner, at Montebello, California. 

 They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated 

 over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we 

 acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our 

 faith in its value, and its coming popularity is attested 

 by the fact that we have already booked orders for 

 many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are 

 safe in stating that " RAMONA" will have the largest 

 flrst season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the 

 American trade.
