(ilDanba’a Urlumpb.) 
Tliis is the gem of the collection, and may well be called the 
Double “ Memorial Rose,” as it preserves the color of the parent, 
with its characteristics of growth and foliage, but the flowers are 
double and very fragrant. They are produced in clusters of from 
twelve to eighteen flowers on each cluster on small side shoots, 
literally covering the plant and standing well above the foliage.

exquisite fragrance. The flowers, single, are over two inches in

orange red stamens, producing a most charming effect.
