Website/Catalog (1899) Page(s) 25. Winter Blooming Roses. Highland Mary — A sport from Agrippena [sic], which originated in Canada, and, like that fine old variety, is a persistent bloomer both summer and winter, with a stronger and better growth; flowers double the size and exceedingly sweet. As to color it is without exception the most exquisitely and delicately colored Rose we ever saw. Blossoms beautifully cupped, each petal being white with a delicate lemon tinge; just enough to make it perfectly exquisite. But this is not all; each petal is also bordered with a delicate band of pink, which, blending with the white and lemon tinge, makes a combination which is truly fascinating. No other rose in the world like it. It will bloom all the time, either in the garden or in pots; is hardy in the open ground with slight protection, and a most exquisite variety for cutting. 25c. each.
