Website/Catalog (1900) We have chosen to call this magnificent new variety The Victory Rose, not only to mark the triumph of the American arms, but to indicate in a more peaceful way as well the triumphant skill of American Rose growers to surpass the world in perfecting the Rose-nature's sweetest creation.
This is a free-blooming, strong-growing hardy Hybrid Perpetual. To say that it is an improvement over General Jacqueminot, we think will be sufficient indorsement to make it the most popular variety of recent introduction. The flowers are beautifully made, very full, round and double, of immense size and splendid substance. They are born both early and late on long, stiff stems, and are deliciously fragrant. The color is deep crimson, rich and velvety, while the foliage is the most handsome we have ever seen upon any Rose — deep green, large and of great endurance, making it proof against all mildew and insect attacks. It is a splendid grower and is absolutely hardy in all sections of the country. We consider it a Rose of wonderful value.
