NEW TEA ROSE "SUNSET." 



This magnificent Rose, which was first sent out by us last year, has more than equaled our expectations. It has held its 

 splendid coloring, and has excelled the parent -variety (Perle des Jardins) not only in vigor of growth, but far exceeds it in its 

 ■delightful tea fragrance. Its color is the richest shade of saffron and orange, blended and shaded so as to somewhat resemble some 

 of the tints of Sunset — hence the name. Another singular and valuable peculiarity of this Hose is that the young foliage is of a 

 deep crimson tint, and that, when in contrast with the rich shade of saffron orange of the flowers, adds much to its beauty. Any one 

 who has seen the rich tints of the old Safrano rosebuds, when grown out of doors, can form some conception of what the Sunset 

 must be, which is perfectly double, of fine form, richer colored and twice the size of Safrano. Sunset, from its being full and 

 double, gives excellent buds even in the hottest weather, when semi-double Koses, such as Safrano, Bon Silene, etc., are nearly 

 worthless. We have sold upwards of 20,000 plants of it since January 1st, 1884, which is undoubtedly a greater number than has 

 ever been sold of any new Rose here in the same length of time. On June 24th, 1884, the Sunset Rose was exhibited in London 

 before the Royal Horticultural Society of England, and by it awarded a First-class certificate, the highest honor from the most 

 critical tribunal in Europe. It is one of the most healthy and vigorous growing Roses, and has given greater satisfaction than any 

 plant we have ever sent out.
