A Book of Roses (1934)
Melvin E. Wyant
Irish Hope. I wish you could see the rich lovely blossoms of this deep red Rose. A splendid and distinct red, with well formed buds composed of heavy, broad petals opening to moderately full, fragrant flowers. It is a rich rosy crimson with maroon shadings. Not a tall grower but has good habit. Illustrated on inside back cover. 75ยข.
