famous rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet, 
and introduced 1918 by Farm. Journal, of Phil¬

this Rose will prove immensely popular, as 
it is among the finest of recent introductions 
in this hardy climbing class. It is a cross be¬ 
tween Appoline and Wichuraiana. The won¬

habit of Appoline is retained and also the 
dark shiny foliage and perfect hardiness of 
Wichuraiana. In full bloom it is amaz¬

crimson Roses loading every branch. The 
bright effect is intensified by the pure white 
centers and brilliant golden anthers which 
shine out when the flowers are fully open. .
