The parentage of the rose bush is not exactly known but was produced through cross-polleniza- tion of several varieties or classes of roses, among which were the common variety of Cecil Brunner rose, and a rose bush produced by cross-polleniza- tion and which is similar to the "'World's Fair," but whose parentage is not now known, and is an unnamed rose. The particular rose illustrated is a second generation cross-pollenization of one of the rose bushes resulting from the aforesaid cross-pollenization and further cross-pollenized with the common variety of Cecil Brunner rose.
