season of bloom earlier than any other sort. For a hardy

vigorous Rose in cultivation, for Its handsome rank foliage

delicate and sweet as it is in June. 
Champion in Form and Color. Its blossoms 
are perfectly double to the center and of the most perfeot 
Shape, both in bud and blossom, while its color is a degree 
Of loveliness which few roses can equal, being a rich, deep, 
rosy pink, darker and richer than Hermosa, and a shade the 
delicate richness of which is seldom seen. Its size is very 
large for an everbloomer, often as large and fine as La 
France, or the best hybrid perpetuals. 
In Ceneral. This remarkable Rose, a cross between 
Hermosa and Magna Charta, originated several years ago 
in Vermont. The originator says: “ I have tested nearly 
every rose in cultivation and there is not a rose grown that 
will produce, after the usual June bloom, even a respectable 
percentage of the blooms that this will; and no rose of any 
name or kind that will stand the winter in the open ground 
better than the above. ... .
