Willison's Rose-Nursery, Whitby...A great number of the China, Noisette and other fine Roses do not bloom well in this locality except under glass; the bloom-buds rarely expand. I will therefore enumerate a few good Roses that appeared to bloom here in perfection....
French: Oeillet Parfait, striped; Queen (Willison), dark shaded maroon; Prince of Wales (Burgess); George Glenny (Burgess). There were several other fine Roses of Burgess's, but the above were of superior character. Boula de nanteuil, crimson-purple, superb.
