AGATHA NABONNAND.

Tea — Nabonnand, 1886.

Flesh-coloured flowers of great size, slightly margined with a darker shade ;
buds are egg-shaped, very large and heavy, easily affected by damp ; vigorous,
grows to large size and very floriferous, a really magnificent rose, but very
difficult to obtain from it perfect flowers; the plant seems unequal to the task
of opening these great fleshy buds, which cannot withstand much moisture
or a too fierce sun. Rose bugs and other insects especially fond of this
variety. A splendid thing when obtained in perfection, which is so seldom
that it cannot rank among really desirable roses.

and
