The “Sunset Rose’’ originated with us in the 
winter of 1880, being a shoot from a plant of 
Perle des Jardins. We only secured one cut- 
ting, which, fortunately, has held its distinctive 
character without a variation for four years. It 
is now for the first time offered for sale, not a 
plant having been sold previous to January Ist, 
1884. It will, no doubt, be hailed with delight 
by every one interested in roses, as it is identical 
in every respect with that hitherto unequaled 
Rose, Perle des Jardins, except that its color, in- 
stead of being a canary yellow, as in that variety, 
is of the rich tawny shade of saffron and orange, 
similar but deeper than the coloring of Safrano 
or Md. Falcot. In size, vigor, and productive- 
ness it is in all respects the same as the variety 
from which it sprung, except that the color of 
the young foliage is of a much deeper crimson, 
which contrasts beauifully with the orange-tinted 
safron flowers. 
As a new color for winter forcing it will be as 
largely grown as Perle des Jardins, if not more 
so, as the peculiar richness of shade is much 
“SUNSET,” HALF NATURAL SIZE. prized. The few buds we have had to offer this 
winter, sold at just double the prize of “ Perle.’ It will be equally valuable as a summer- 
blooming Rose out doors. Any one that has seen the rich tints of the old Safrano Rose 
buds, when grown out doors, can form some conception of what ‘‘ Sunset’? must be which 
is perfectly double, of fine form, richer tinted, and twice the size of Safrano. “Sunset,” 
from its being full and double, gives excellent buds, even in the hottest weather, when semi- 
double Roses, such as Safrano, Bon Silene, ete., are nearly worthless. . 
No better evidence can be had of the great value attached to the ‘‘Sunset’’ Rose by the 
Trade, than the fact, that since Janary 1st, we have sold upward of Seven Tuousanp Prants 
to the leading Rost Growers, of New-York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, undoubtedly a 
eveater number than has ever been sold of any new Rose that has been on the market such 
a brief time. We invite all, to call and examine our flowering plants, well believing that 
any one competent to judge will agree with us, that “ Sunset’ is the most valuable new Rose 
ever offered in this country.
