Prairie Rose....Pallida is a very fine full double flower, of incarnate hue changing to white; so nearly resembling the Superba in color, and in the habit of the plant, that it cannot be distinguished, and although said to be of distinct parentage, may be deemed identical. It blooms perhaps a few days later than Superba.

For the following varieties we are indebted to Mr. Samuel Feast, Nurseryman, Baltimore, who raised them from seeds of the Native Prairie Rose....
Pallida very pale blush, nearly white, perfectly double; this rose appears to bloom finest when lying on the ground ; in such a position it forms a solid mass of flowers and pale green foliage.
