Illustration and description from the 1882 Peter Henderson Nursery Catalog, p.85: NEW ROSE, "Perle des Jardins." No rose ever cultivated for cut flowers up to the present time Is now so valuable as this- tens of thousands of It, covering many acres in glass, are now grown in the vicinity of New York for winter flowering; it is equally valuable for summer, as It flowers continuously. Its color is a rich shade of yellow, large size and perfect form, tea fragrance, a healthy free grower, and unequaled in profusion of bloom, either in greenhouse in winter or in the open ground in summer. We will grow 50,000 plants of this variety alone this season, and can supply for rosaries in quantity plants of all sizes at special rates. The cut represents the average size.
