Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very free blooming old garden rose which requires little care for the great rewards of color it provides. It can be grown as a hedge or as a specimen or foundation plant in the back of perennial garden. I can't say enough about the toughness and free-flowering qualities.

Pale pink. (China) The 'Monthly Rose'. One of the first varities to start flowering and then continuing, weather permitting, to the end of the year. Modest, with age, in graceful clusters on a dainty, twiggy shrub. Delicious fragrance. Said to be the 'Last Rose of Summer' in Thomas Moore's poem. 4 ft x 3 ft. - up to 8ft. (Int. 1789).
