Notes:
Described by Drennan in “Everblooming Roses For The Outdoor Garden of the Amateur” (1912), under the heading Pink Tea Roses: - Sport from Bridesmaid. Deeper pink, larger and better substance than Bridesmaid.
Described in “Dingee Guide to Rose Culture 1850 - 1911”:
NUMBER 27. A brilliant, everblooming Tea Rose, sport of Bridesmaid, with all the good qualities of its parent intensified. The color is a richer, deeper pink than Bridesmaid, and the flowers larger and of better substance. It is a continuous bloomer, much more so than "The Maid," and all summer produces a profusion of its charming flowers on long, stiff stems, making it an ideal Rose for cut- ting. 20 cts. each; larger size, 35 cts. each; two-year-old plants. 5 cts. each.
A casual search suggests it was only sold through Dingee, starting in 1911, until 1917.
