 type, always a mass of bloom throughout the season,

 crimson; very fragrant, a free, strong grower and in 

 bloom all the time.

 perhaps the most popular bedding Rose and it still 

 has many friends on account of the freedom with 

 which its medium sized, perfect shaped double, 

 bright pink flowers are produced, it rarely being out 

 of bloom. 



Pink Gruss an Aachen. This desirable variety 

 originated as a sport from Gruss an Aachen, retaining 

 all of the good qualities of this free flowering bedding
