in clusters ; pearly white, with rosy lake centers, liable to vary, producing often red and white flowers on the 
same plant. Valuable for floristsfor designs, or asa market pot plant, being a remarkably free and constant 
bloomer, and easy of culture. One of the most remarkable roses of recent introduction. soc.
