NEW FIERY CRIMSON HARDY EVER'BLOOMING ROSE, 
CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEOT. 
A very rich, fiery scarlet shading to deep velvety crimson; surpassing in 
color the famous “ Jubilee ” Rose which we introduced in 1897. Words 
are inadequate to describe and pigments are not made which could reproduce 
the wonderful coloring and texture of this truly remarkable Rose. The 
velvety finish on the petals, the conflagration of color, the fine shape, the size, 
the dark green, heavy foliage so strong and healthy as to be immune from the 
two scourges of Roses, black 
spot and white mildew, all 
stamp it as a variety of pro¬ 
nounced merit. The flowers 
are large, full ana 
globular and are 
borne single on good 
stems. It is delight¬ 
fully fragrant, a pro¬ 
lific and continuous 
bloomer. This is a 
magnificent novelty 
in Roses and must 
appeal strongly to all 
lovers of fine Roses for 
its very dark yet bril¬ 
liantcoloring, itshard- 
iness and ever-bloom¬ 
ing qualities {Sec cut).
