This is from the 1928 issue of the American Rose Annual. The caption below the picture says: PLATE I. The Novelty Rose, TALISMAN, H.T., described on page 208. Illustration supplied, courtesy of A. N. Pierson, Inc. This is what it says on page 208: The New Florists' Rose, Talisman (see colored frontispiece furnished by courtesy of A.N. Pierson, inc.) TALISMAN is Mr. Montgomery's latest production, and as seen by the Editor is a most attractive and distinct rose of what is usually called the "novelty" type, for want of a better designation. The colored plate gives a fair idea of its first-day color, and as it aged, its beauty seemed not to diminish, though it changed. Whatever its value for the greenhouse trade--and it ought to be great--we are hopping that it soon escapes into the garden and there proves as pleasing. The parentage is Ophelia X Souv. de Claudius Pernet. The rose averages twenty-five petals, opens pleasingly, and lasts well. The foilage is full and good, and the unusually long calyx-lobes are very decorative.
