1845, Oct. The Florist's Journal
p217. Our engraving this month represents a very beautiful seedling of the Bourbon class of Roses, obtained by Mr. Milne, gardener to C. S. Chauncey, Esq., of Dane End, Little Munden, Hertfordshire. The plant, we understand, is of vigorous habit and constitutionally robust: of its flowers it is unnecessary to speak; our figure will convey the best idea of their large size, unexceptionable form, and beautiful colour. It is called the "Beauty of Munden," and is, we think, destined to perpetuate the remembrance of Rose growing at that place. The blooms from which the accompanying portrait was taken were exhibited at the July meeting of the Royal Botanic Society, where they received the principal prize offered for similar productions. - Ed.
