Editor. The New "Hill" Roses.
Mr. E. G. Hill writes: At the Joseph H. Hill place, there is a crimson-scarlet sport of Columbia, already offered for registration as Red Columbia. There is no doubt that this is one of the coming American roses for forcing. It has all the good qualities of the parent in habit and health, with lovely dark foliage, and a fine flower of velvety crimson-scarlet.
p126. Concerning Red Columbia, Joseph H. Hill says:
We think we have a wonderful red rose. The color has a little more scarlet in it than Hoosier Beauty. The bud is long and pointed, and the guard petals, unlike those of Columbia, are long and encase the bud perfectly. The foliage comes up well to the flowers, the long neck of Columbia being absent, though both the style of growth and the foliage, with this exception, are identical with Columbia. This rose appeared on our place last year, and at that time a few of the petals were flecked with white. We propagated from this plant, and this year we had one plant come through with a solid red flower, following with other flowers, all of them identical.
