This row of rose plants, from north to south, consisted first of two plants ofSeager Wheeler, a seedling raised by him from seed of Rosa altaica he picked at the Morden Experimental Farm. It is a nicely double flower, opening pale pink and fading to white by the second day. It is extremely fertile, and enormously floriferous, and I have applied pollen of Hazeldean to it repeatedly and got numerous progeny of that promising descent."
