Lady Gay, a Pink Rambler Rose 
“A seedling from the popular Crimson Rambler, which it resembles in habit 
and general effect. The flowers are of a delicate cherry pink, fading to soft, 
white. The foliage is very profuse and of a glossy deep green shade. The effect 
ofa plant in full bloom, with the combination of the soft white flowers, the cherry, 
pink buds, and the deep green foliage, is most charming. Flowers are numerous 
and of good size; they are also delicately perfumed. The plant is a vigorous 
grower and perfectly hardy. This is a rose of the highest merit, and far superior 
to the Crimson Rambler. This is a new color in a Rose, of which one will not 
become tired, as is the case with the Crimson Rambler.”
