Helene is a seedling from Crimson Rambler, possessing full as vigorous 
habit as its parent and entirely hardy. The llowers are larger than those of 
the Crimson Rambler, nearly double and borne in clusters of 20 to 50. The 
color is of a soft, violet rose, base of petals yellowish white. The anthers and 
pistils are pure yellow and so numerous as to give further color to the flower.

Dorothy Perkins. This is a splendid new, shell-pink Climbing Rose. 
// attracted much attention at the Pan- American Exf/osition where a bed 
of fourteen-months-old plants produced a sho-cv of bloom unequalled by any 
other variety, unless it was the famous Crimson Rambler. This new rose is of 
the same strong habit of growth as Crimson Rambler, and the flowers are borne 
in clusters of 30 or 40 and sometimes even 50 to 60. The flowers are large for 
a rose of this class, very double, sweetly scented and of a beautiful sheH-pink, 
a color that it is almost impossible to accurately represent by lithography. 
Raised from seed of Rosa Wichuriana crossed with that grand old rose, Mme. 
Gabriel Luizet. Absolutely hard} . Mr. Wm. Scott, the Ass t Supt. of Hor- 
ticulture at the Pan-American says, regarding the DORO THY PERKINS: 
" This has exactly the habit of the well known Crimson Rambler It has 
flowered splendidly and has been very brilliant. This seems to me to be a great 
acquisition, and I believe it to be a good forcing rose. The individual flower is 
larger than the Crimson Rambler, but it is a beautiful shell-pink in color." 6oc.
