ALICE ALDRICH. 



A new hardy ever blooming Rose of 

 most remarkable and unique character ; 

 absolutely hardy, perpetual-blooming, 

 sweetly-scented and of rugged, vigorous 

 growth — a combination not to be found 

 to the same extent in any other Rose 

 we know of. In addition to all this it 

 is everything that can be desired in 

 beauty of form, color, and general 

 mike-up of flower, and it is, in fact, a 

 perfect Rose. 



The Alice Aldrich is a hybrid between 

 Rosa rugosa and that splendid old va- 

 riety of the hybrid perpetual or remon- 

 tant class, Caroline de Sansal. In 

 habit of growth and foliage it strongly 

 resembles the rugosa species, possessing 

 the same abundant, rich, dark green, 

 clean and healthy foliage and moss- 

 rose-like buds. In like manner it in- 

 herits the property of this species of 

 blooming with great profusion in June 

 and continuing to flower throughout 

 the summer and autumn. It also pos- 

 sesses all the ruggedness and iron-clad 

 hardiness of its Japanese parent. On 

 the other hand, the flower in make-up, 

 finish, color and fragrance of its flow- 

 ers resembles to a greater degree the 

 Caroline de Sansal. The roses are 

 medium to large in size, densely double 

 (beautiful in the bud) and of pure, 

 bright peach-blow pink throughout. 

 There is no other rose we have ever 

 grown that is so rich in delicious da- 

 mask perfume. Unlike almost all other 

 roses its foliage is exempt from mildew 

 and the attacks of insects or slugs, re- 

 maining healthy, clean and bright, 

 deep green until turned to a crimson 

 color by frost. Briefly stated, the 

 especial merits which place it ahead of 

 all other Roses are its ironclad hardiness 

 and perpetual, rich and sweetly-scented 

 bloom. It will delight all who plant it 

 and every lover of Roses should have it.
