HIS is one of the most beautiful winter-flowering roses, of the 
largest size, very fragrant and fine form. The predominating 
color is salmon pink, blended with blush pink on the outer

the whole, making it avery artistic and distinct flower. It is a very 
strong grower and very free flowering, and must become a general 
favorite. It is also a grand summer-bedding rose, good strong 
grower, fine substance and free bloomer. Price, first size, $1.00 each, 
$9.00 per doz.; second size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; third size,

GOLD MEDAL ROSE, 
JUBILEE. 
T is a true Hybrid Remontant Rose, 
perfectly hardy, blooming in the fall 
as well as in the early summer, very 
vigorous, large, dark green foliage, one 
of its distinguishing features; short- 
jointed, long flower stems, and branches 
freely, blooms most abundantly, three 
flowers and over on each shoot, the 
ideal habit for a hardy garden Rose. 
The flowers are very large, reaching , 
six inches across under good culture;  _ : is 
outer petals partially reflexed and re- > : EN Gil WW 
curved, the centre petals upright and S 
very gracefully disposed, giving grace and finish without 
showing the centre; they last a long time when cut. 
The buds are long and rounded, the petals falling 
away gracefully, revealing the rich velvety texture. 
The fragrance is strong, delightfully rich and very 
lasting. 
Its Wealth of Color.—A pure red in its deepest tone, 
shading to deep crimson red and velvety maroon 
red in the depths of the petals. ‘The coloring is alive,” 
as one expressedit. ‘It fairly glows in its rich warmth 
of coloring,” another said. The rich velvety finish to 
the petais is all its own, and is not even approached by 
any other Rose yet introduced. Itis admirable, unique, 
_ and, as Mr. F. Schuyler Matthews, the celebrated artist, 
said, ‘This Rose contains the darkest color, combined 
with pure color, of which nature is capable.’’ It re- 
quired centuries and the skill of the world’s hybridizers 
to produce this peerless Rose, perfect in all its attri- 
butes, peerless in its magnificent color, and it is fair to 
assume that it will again require the centuries to produce 
its equal—if it ever is produced—for nature is not prolific 
in repetitions. (See cut.)
