208 Annals of Horticulture. 



Rose, Ruby Gold. Henderson. 



This variety originated with Mr. T. O'Connor, Providence, R. I., 

 and is the product of Catherine Mermet grafted on a Marechal Niel 

 rose, which, contrary to all previous belief, have been fused into an 

 entirely distinct variety by some mysterious process of nature, the 

 result being a composite likeness of both. It has retained the dwarf 

 habit of Mermet, while the color of the flowers shows the perfect 

 blending of the golden yellow of M. Niel with the pink of Mermet, 

 the result being a tawny shade of yellow, bordering on old gold, 

 through which run veins of rosy red and pink.
