This is entirely dif- 
ferent from the Yellow 
Rambler. I¢ is a true’ 
perpetual bloomer, bear- 
ing large clusters of ele- 
gant roses all through the sea- 
son, from June till December. 
The flowers are medium size, 
and quite full and double ; the color is rich apricot 
yellow, passing to pure white. The same bush 
bears both white and yellow roses at the same time, 
and sometimes one-half the flower will be white, 
and the other half yellow. Itisone of the most con- 
tinuous blooming roses we know, and is hardly ever 
without buds and flowers the whole season. 
The plant is quite hardy, unless in very exposed 
situations; is a neat handsome grower, has few 
thorns, and is very desirable for porches, verandas, 
etc., where a fine constant blooming cluster rose is 
always highly valued.
