(1892) Page(s) 31-32. The Prairie Rose (Rosa Setigera or Rubifolia [erroneous]) is much the most valuable of all the non-remontant climbers. It is indiginous to the country, being found in Michigan and many of the Western States. Seeds of the common variety were sown about 1836 by Messrs. Samuel and John Feast of Balitmore. The seedligs from this sowing were fertilized by surrounding flowers, from some of the best varieties of roses grown at the time, and from this lot came Baltimore Belle...The folilage is rough, large, 5 to 7 leaflets, generally of a dark green color; for rapidity of growth they equal or excel the Ayrshires, and surpass all other climbers in hardiness. They bloom in large clusters late in the season, when other summer roses are past... The most desireable of the class are Anna Maria, Baltimore Belle, Gem of the Prairies..., Queen of the Prairies and Triumphant. Baltimore Belle is the most beautiful, but seems to contain some Noisette blood, which makes it less hardy than the others; it is sufficiently robust, however, to withstand all ordinary winters. The Prairie Rose, like all climbers, should be sparingly pruned.
