Mulberry rose suffused salmon 
with wax yellow at base of pet- 
als. The petals twist somewhat 
and point in all directions. The 
bushes are six to seven feet high

blooms which are held almost on 
top of straight stems. This is a 
very hardy variety and blooms 
are nearly as large when grown 
in the open without fertilizer as 
when forced.

ing specimen bloom at both 
Peekskill and Poughkeepsie;

lia that has the distinction of
