Killarney Queen. (Budlong)  A cerise pink sport of Killarney that for clearness and brightness of color has not been equalled. Exceptionally strong in growth, with foliage that is perfect, being larger than Killarney and more glossy. In size of petals Killarney Queen is larger than its parent, and for high-grade bloom it is a very superior variety. (See illustration, front cover.) Killarney Queen stands in a class by itself as the grandest Rose that has ever been offered. From the standpoint of production it is nearly the equal of Killarney, and individual plants have carried at one time six blooms of exhibition quality with three foot stems on single growths. We are giving Killarney Queen the front cover of our catalogue, and believe it worthy of first consideration by the Rose lovers of the country.

p2. Killarney Queen certainly impresses every one who sees it, its grand stems and big, leathery foliage added to the size of the bloom, and its deep, rich coloring, put it in the Am. Beauty class. 

One of the most interesting incidents in present day rose culture is the sporting habit of the Killarney family; usually when roses have sported, it has been in color only, or with a hardly perceptible change of foliage...while Killarney Queen looks like the rich relation, in gorgeous foliage and heavy growths.
