NIGRETTE 
(Plant Patent 
No. 87) 
“The Black Rose of Sangerhausen.” The cup-shaped flowers 
are an intensely deep maroon with blackish velvety sheen, and 
are deliciously fragrant. It is the darkest of Roses, appearing 
almost black from a little distance. The plant is continuously 
in bloom, spending most of its energy in forming blossoms. 
This sensation of the European Rose world was widely pub¬ 
licized last summer. Visitors to our Rose-gardens are invariably 
attracted to it.
