Pink Varieties
Phoebe Cary (Brand).  8.8.  We consider this a second Martha Bulloch.  The variety was introduced in 1907, but was so good that before we were aware of it, almost our entire stock was gone.  The stock which we had for sale last year was exhausted before the shipping season was over, and we were obliged to refund on late orders.  This variety is of a true rose type.  The petals are large, broad, and of good substance.  It is slightly cupped, the color is a beautiful rose pink, with the center slightly deeper in shade.  The fragrance is pleasant.  It is a late blooming variety, coming in season with Marie Lemoine.  The plant is tall, with an abundance of light green foliage.
