New Climbing Rose Debutante
We only recently presented illustrations of Mr. Walsh's hybrid of Rosa Wichuraiana and Bridesmaid under the name of Sweetheart, and now show Debutante, for which Baroness Rothschild gave the pollen, R. Wichuraiana being the seed bearer. This is a grand acquisition in the list of rambler roses, being of vigorous habit, slightly larger in all its parts than the former hybrid and having flowers of a very pleasing light pink color which does not vary as the flower ages. The bud is especially beautiful. Our sketches give a good impression of the sprays of blooms and we learn from Mr. Walsh this week that the plants at Woods Hole are again in flower, so that Debutante has a second season of bloom which should add materially to its interest.

New Roses. Prepared by E. G. Hill for the Annual Meeting of the American Rose Society. Philadelphia, Pa.. March 84, 1903
...Duchess of Portland.—This is one of Alex. Dickson's seedlings, and a most magnificent Rose it is. It is larger and of heavier texture than our famous Kaiserin—a truly noble flower, but its neck is so weak that its flowers look down at Mother Earth. This is most unfortunate, for it has many charms to its credit.

In the long experience of the writer would advise eight or ten for this space Instead of twenty varieties as asked for; and I should start the list with White Rambler, Baltimore Belle, Yellow Rambler, Gem of the Prairie, Empress of China.

Were I to be reduced to one rose, for outdoor purposes I would select Estella Pradel, for here and southwardly.

Horticultural Society of New York
The second annual spring show of the Horticultural Society of New York was held on Wednesday and Thursday of this week in the New York Botanical Garden. [...]
Then, also from Massachusetts, the Farquhar Rose from Messrs. Farquhar, of Boston. This is a pretty cluster Rose of a lively pure rose color, and was raised by Jackson Dawson from Crimson Rambler X Wichuraiana, and is fairly intermediate. It recalled several of the more modern hybrid Rambler roses. We believe this will be sent out in the fall (certificate).

"The Crimson Rambler Rose and its Mission"
Mr. Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, has been very busy for some years now with the production of multiflora hybrid Roses. One or two of these (be it said to his credit that he has distributed only one or two good ones out of many hundreds) are distinctly meritorious and are destined to fill a particular niche in garden decoration in the future. He has given us in the Dawson a charming pink rambler and in the new Farquhar, not yet distributed, we have the Wichuraiana habit and rampant growth with flowers of rich rose color and large size.

A small prize exhibition was held at Horticultural Hall, on May 10. [...]
he attraction of the show, however, was the new Farquhar Rose from R. & J. Farquhar & Co. This is a new pink Rambler, raised by Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, from whom the whole stock was purchased by Messrs. Farquhar. The color of the flowers is brilliant rose, the clusters are similar to those of Crimson Rambler, the florets, however, being larger and more double. There is a slight fragrance. The plant exhibited had made its flowering wood since August 15, 1901, and was not of sufficient strength to produce the best quality of bloom, but the original plants, also shown, carried remarkably strong canes and shoots. The award of a silver gilt medal was thoroughly deserved and, measured by the position it is bound to occupy horticulturally in the near future, might even have been higher. The seed from which this new Rose was produced was sown in 1899, the result of a cross between Rosa Wichuraiana and Crimson Rambler, and first bloomed in May, 1901. Messrs. Farquhar are working up a big stock of this sterling novelty, for which there is certain to be an enormous demand.

...Franz Deegen.—My prediction is that this variety will grow in favor as its winter forcing qualities become better and more generally known. It is a good vigorous grower, producing long canes not unlike those produced by Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, and is remarkably free in producing its buds during the winter months. It likes good culture and thrives with good feed and plenty of it. The color is a charming tint of yellow, which has a depth seen in but few Roses. Would certainly advise a trial of this Rose on at least a limited scale, so that it may have a universal test over the country. This variety has grown in our estimation as we have noted its behavior the past few months.
