Dr. W. Van Fleet. Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1910. I approach this rose with awe and humility, although I have never liked it very much. Its color is a wishy-washy pink, characterless and flat, but ist influence has been stupendous. Its introduction broke the garden's thralldom to innumerable, fussy little cluster-flowered ramblers which bore us to distraction with their infantile prettiness and indistinguishable differences. Here was an heroic rose, of noble size and perfect form, borne on a rampant plant, first of the race of climbers. Its value and importance to rose-growers in cold climates can hardly be estimated, although it needs shelter in winter.
