OUR NEW ROSE. 
The best new Rose of the season. Combines every required excellency. Most pro¬ 
fuse bloomer of its class. Perfectly hardy and a free grower. Exhaling 
a dainty and delightful perfume. Should be in every collection. 
We take great pleasure in offering to our patrons an entirely new and distinct 
Rose, especially adapted for bedding in the open ground, to which we have applied 
the name ot 
PINK BEDDER. 
It was produced by crossing the General Jacqueminot (H. P.) and Virginia (Tea), 
but like so many of the cross-bred varieties, it shows little affinity to either parent. 
In color it may be described as a charming peach-blow pink, or rather pale rose 
madder, deepening towards the centre, reminding one of a perfect Hermosa, al¬ 
though more double than the latter. It is also superior to Hermosa in the firmness 
of its flower-stem, so that the flowers all stand erect, while those of the latter when 
mature invariably bend over on account of their weak peduncles. 
The flower is medium in size, very full, and beautifully cupped, and without ex¬ 
ception, is the most profuse bloomer in our entire collection. In fact, either in the 
open ground or under glass, it is always a mass of (lowers, from spring until early 
winter. 
During the winter months, as well, with a slight amount of heat, it will continue 
to bloom, thus proving one of the most charming and reliable house plants we 
possess. 
It has a fragrance peculiar to itself, being very delicate, not unlike that of the 
old Provence Rose. In regard to hardiness and general adaptability to our climate, 
we may say it has been fully tested for the past three winters, with unvarying and 
complete success. During the winter of 1896 and 1897, our specimen plant had no 
protection of any kind, and not a twig was injured, although some of the Hybrid 
Perpetual class in the immediate vicinity were badly cut up.
