Mrs. Margaret E. Coon, Columbus, Ohio. a Review of the Latest Roses in America.
Dixie Belle HT. E. S. Boerner (Golden Masterpiece x unnamed seedling). A variety which we would call a "sleeper" in this country. Not highly publicized but one of the best garden roses to come on the market in many years. The bud is dark pink and opens to a double, light pink bloom, It flowers profusely on short stems and the plant is apparently disease resistant. In some weather the blooms will ball and fade, but all in all it is still a good decorative variety.
