Foliage resistant to disease. Vigorous, upright growth; 6 flowers - G. G. Whitney, Woods Hole, Mass. We like this rose. It has resemblances to 'Sunburst', 'Lady Hillingdon' and 'Mme Ravary', especially to the color of the last. It grows better than 'Sunburst', has a better neck than 'Lady Hillingdon' and blooms more and is more double than 'Mme. Ravary'. Seems to have been buried for five years, but is worth resurrecting - editorial.
