'Halloween' rose References
Website/Catalog (1899) 'Halloween' —The striped' Meteor'. A cross between 'Meteor' and 'Bon Silene'. Flowers same fine large size and perfect shape of 'Meteor', while the color is rich dark crimson, each petal freely and distinctly striped pure white and pink. Like'Meteo'r, the flowers are double, exceedingly sweet and borne in endless profusion both summer and winter. Quite hardy in the open ground. This is the only distinctively striped Everblooming Rose in cultivation and a great beauty. It creates a genuine sensation wherever seen. Nothing like it in cultivation.
