Prairie Rose; a few elegant sorts have been grown from this single-flowered native rose: all are of rapid growth and partaking of the parent in blooming later than roses generally that flower only once in the season; they are admirably adapted for covering arbours, rock work, or out-buildings of any kind, being of the most hardy nature, and standing the severest of our winters even in the most Northern States.
Mrs. Hovey, blush white.
