A change in attribution is called for: “This fine white Rose originated with Mr. Jos. Bevis, of Philadelphia, as a sport from Perle, and is a grand variety. In foliage and growth, it is identical with Perle; the flowers are of the same form and size, while the color is an ivory white of great purity. This variety will prove invaluable to rose growers, for it is of the same easy management as Perle, requiring the same temperature and treatment; and if there is a difference in freedom of bloom, it is in favor of ‘Senator McNaughton’,” (McGregor Bros. catalog 1895, p. 3, which is where the illustration comes from).
