Plate 446 – Mary Pochin
This beautiful Rose, so fine in outline and rich in colour, was raised by the Rev. E. N. Pochin, and the stock of it has passed into the hands of the Cranston Seed and Nursery Company, Hereford, for distribution in the autumn of the present year.

Rich as we already are in bright red and scarlet Roses, this fine variety will prove a valuable addition to the class. It is a bold and vigorous grower with a hardy constitution, the flowers large and very full, of considerable substance and fine outline, and of a singularly bright and effective glow of colour. As an exhibition variety it has already taken a high place, as is seen from the fact that at the National Society's Rose Exhibition at Manchester, on the 17th of July last, it was awarded a First-class Certificate of Merit. It will not be the less welcome as a brilliant and effective garden Rose.
