New Hybrid Wichuraiana Rose, Mary Wallace 
Named by the Portland Rose Society in honor of the daughter of Secretary of Agriculture 
Wallace. It was originated at the Maryland Station of the Department of Agriculture by the late 
lamented Dr. W. Van Fleet, one of the world’s 
greatest rosarians, who has given us such world- 
famed varieties as American Pillar, Silver Moon, 
Dr. Van Fleet, and many other meritorious sorts. 5 
Mary Wallace is the first of a series of what has 
been called “dooryard” Roses, that is expected 
to be of great usefulness and adaptability, and 
to the production of which Dr. Van Fleet was 
giving his best endeavors at the time of his death. 
The Department describes it as a pillar 
Rose, making a fine, strong, self-supporting 
plant 6 to 8 feet high, with large, glossy foliage, 
blooming with great freedom in spring and 
bearing a considerable number of fine buds in 
summer and fall. Flowers very large, generally 
exceeding 4 inches across, well-formed, semi¬ 
double, of a bright clear rose-pink, with salmon 
Allowed space to develop, it makes a 
graceful bush from 4 to 5 feet high, clothed all 
over with its pleasing, disease-resisting foliage, 
which gives it the “dooryard” quality that was 
Dr. Van Fleet’s ideal. It can also be used as a 
pillar or low climber. Hardy, having been tested 
in northern New York and New England.
