A splendid new nr^DATHV DFDWIIVC '^^^ valuable Rose Nov= 



climbing Rose... UVyi\Vy 1 I I I r Ll\l\ll l3 elty since Crimson Rambler... 



, In its foliage, growth and habit of blooming in innnense clusters it is remarkably like Crimson 

 Rambler but the flowers are more double and of a beautiful shell pink color. This valuable variety was 

 grown from seed of Rosa Wichuriana crossed with pollen from that fine rose, Mme. Gabriel Luizet. 



It is of quite upright habit of giowth, but retains 

 the remarkable vigor of the seed parent, making a 

 growth of ten to fifteen feet often in a single season. 

 In the important point of hardiness nothing more 

 could be desired, two unusually severe winters having 

 faihd to injure even young plants, although during 

 one of them the temperature went as low as twenty 

 degrees below zero and there was not the usual snow- 

 fall to protect thrm. Tlie flowers arc very double, 

 are of large size for this class of Rose, usually two 

 inches across; are borne in loose clusters of from 

 thirty to forty and we have often counted even fifty 

 and si.xty in a truss. The petals are very prettily 

 rolled back and crinkled; the buds are remarkably 

 handsom-\ b.ing pointed in shape and of just right 

 size for the button-hole. The color is a most beau- 

 tiful clear shell-pink and holds a long time without 

 fading. The flowers are verj' sweetly scented, a char- 

 acteristic not possessed by most other roses of the 

 Rambler family. A number of florists who have seen 

 tlie "Dorothy Perkins" bolieve it will be a grreat ac- 

 quisition for forcing anad decorative purposes. Price 

 each 20 cts., 3 for 50 cts., by mail. 



A few buds and blossoms. (About one-third size)
