(1915) Page(s) 13. Defiance. A new American garden Rose, the result of crossing Etoile de France with Gruss an Teplitz. Deep, velvety crimson, shaded maroon, resembling the Hybrid Perpetual Abel Carriere. We find it one of the most free-flowering varieties yet sent out, and unusually fragrant. Its habit of growth is somewhat spready and branching, to the detriment of the variety. With a better-growing habit, this would be a wonderful garden Rose. On account of its freedom, deep coloring, and exquisite fragrance, it is worth a place in the garden.
(1919) Includes photo(s). Rosiere. A great improvement on the popular Thousand Beauties (Tausendschon), and consequently a welcome addition to this section. While it has the same habit of growth and general characteristics as Thousand Beauties, the color is superior—a deeper and more even shade of cerise-pink or carmine. Those who have admired Thousand Beauties will surely add this improved variety to their collection.
(1915) Suzanna (New). A dwarf variety producing trusses of light pink flowers in the greatest abundance. The introducer recommends it as one of the best Baby Ramblers for bedding yet introduced.
