Bancroft, George The famous American historian (1800-1891) deserves remembrance among horticulturalists for his splendid collection of roses at his summer house in Newport, R.I., an account of which may be found in the American Garden, 1891. For a portrait and sketch, see Appleton's Annual Cyclopedia for 1890. In Mr. Bancroft's garden, George Field found a rose without a name, which is now known to be the French variety Mme. Ferdinand Jamin. It was introduced by Field & Bro. as the American Beauty. Though little known abroad, it is, probably, the most famous of all roses cult. in America.

[From "Future Roses for the Prairie States" by J. L. Budd]
Of the newer hybrids of R. rugosa now quite widely tested, the most desirable are I.A.C. (Fig. 2183), Ames, Madame Georges Bruant (Fig. 2184), Madame Charles Frederick Worth, and Thusnelda. Kaiserin (Fig. 2185) is also to be commended. It is suggestive that these have come from crossed seeds of what is known in Europe as Rosa rugosa, var. Regeliana (p. 1556), and which we know as the Russian Rosa rugosa. The first two named came from seeds of Rosa Regeliana introduced by the writer in 1883 crossed with pollen of General Jacqueminot, and the last three were developed from seeds of R. Regeliana in Germany as stated by L. Spath, of Rixdorf near Berlin. They are all fine double Roses of the class shown in Fig. 2183, of the two produced at Ames, and all have retained to a large extent the foliage and habit of blooming of R. rugosa.

[In section entitled, "Some Recent Rose Hybrids" by Jackson Dawson] R. Wichuraiana was next crossed with R. rugosa, with more than pleasant results; Lady Duncan, silver medal from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1900, having the prostrate, long, rampant growth of the mother, while the Rugosa blood shows in the foliage, spines and flowers, these last being a warm, lively pink and making a delightful contrast to the yellow stamens.

var. Engelmanni Crép. in herbarium (R. Engelmanni Wats.) Similar to the preceding; leaflets distinctly doubly glandular-serrate; fruit oblong to 1 inch long. Colorado to British Columbia.

Regeliana (p. 1556), and which we know as the Russian Rosa rugosa. ....The Russian R. rugosa as introduced from Russia by the writer is divided into two very distinct classes. The one from the Amur valley in North Central Asia is a very strong, upright grower with lighter colored bark, stronger thorns, thicker and more rugose leaves, and larger flowers than the Japan type, but its hips are smaller. The one from Russia in Europe is spreading and pendant in habit. When 4 ft. in height it has a spread of top of fully 6 ft. Its leaves also have a darker shade of green than the Japanese type, and its buds are longer, more pointed, and show between the narrow folded petals shades of rich red and crimson. Its clusters of flowers also differ, as it has four to five flower-buds together, while the Japanese type has only two to three. In addition, we now know by trial that both these Russian types may be grown successfully two degrees farther north than the Japanese R. rugosa.
