We recommend it as one of the most reliable white Tea Roses 

 in cultivation, especially for outdoor culture. The color is pure 

 white, sometimes faintly tinged pale yellow. The flowers are 

 beautifully made, very large, full and double; the buds are 

 very pretty, of sweet fragrance. Anyone who has not seen 

 this splendid variety growing at its best in the open ground 

 cannot conceive of the lovely beauty of its large, bold, hand- 

 some flowers.
