THE “DUCHESS OF NORFOLK.” To be sent out for the first 
time about the end of October. WM. WOOD and SON have much 
pleasure in offering the above superb Rose to the notice of their Friends,

known, and which cannot fail to give every satisfaction. The colour is a 
bright vivid crimson, the under side of the petals most delicately shaded 
with a fine glossy pink, presenting a pleasing contrast; but the most 
valuable property of this superb variety consists in its extraordinary 
vigour, and as a perpetual - flowering dark - coloured Climbing Rose 
surpasses any variety that has yet been offered.
