The Prairie Rose—Rosa Rubifolia
A. Fahnestock
Syracuse Journal

Mrs. Hannah Levering of Baltimore, Md., having removed to Lancaster, Ohio, forwarded seeds of the wild Prairie Rose to Mr. Samuel Feast, an eminent florist of Baltimore, who planted the same, and after they had vegetated, permitted a few to climb over a bed of Noisette roses. The blossoms of the Prairie became (many of them) impregnated from the pollen of the Noisettes. The seeds from the Prairie roses were carefully gathered and planted, and from the many seedlings, the following new varieties were produced, all fine double roses:

1. Beauty or Queen of Prairies.—Large beautiful deep pink, very double, exquisite form, frequently with a white stripe. This is the so called Double Michigan, prevalent in your city.
2. Perpetual Pink.—Pink, changing to purple, very double, flowers several times during the season . large clusters.
3. Baltimore Belle.—Blooming in large clusters, full double, light blush, with a deeper centre. This rose possesses a valuable character, different from the other two, being as fragrant as a Tea rose. These are all vigorous climbers.

I'm told that the rose grown in Australia as Baltimore Belle is the same as the photos of the one at Roses Loubert, but is different from the one grown in the US.
