DAHON VIG) ORLAY “Bourbon w41872.) 6 - 7 feet. 
So enthused is “Hon. Secretary’ about this rose, I insist she alone, 
shall describe it—'’The very spirit of the roses painted by Prevost! Cupped, 
rosy-pink—shading to deeper rose on the outer petals. Intensely fragrant 
and long lasting, either on the plant or as a cut flower. Blooms from early 
spring through the fall. If I could have but one of the old-fashioned roses, 
La Reine would be my choice.” 1.75 
It is said that if you stay with roses long enough, eventually you will find 
yourself planting the old roses. —GEorGE D. GREENE
