Old Roses in Calvert County, Maryland. ...On another old farm where there have been preserved a few old bushes, we found another which is a soft blush-pink, deeper in color than 'Faded Pink Monthly', a lovely rose which seems to keep its color to the end. Fortunately, it is a noble, sturdy bush. We are calling this one "Mrs. Skinner," the name of the lady from whom we bought the bush.
