Joanne Wessenhoff [sic] (Hybrid Tea)
A yellow Hybrid Tea sent out from Europe several years since, and a "100 Point" Rose in every particular; in short one of the very grandest roses in our nursery.  We have for several years bent our efforts to work up a large stock of this variety- but not until the present have we succeeded to a point where we felt safe in talking the rose up to its full merits.  We have disseminated practically the entire stock of this variety in existence today, and there is, we might say, practically no stock of it in the U.S. outside of our own and what we have sold to private planters.  The style of growth is very similar to Kaiserin- upright and symmetrical, throwing long flowering shoots amply able to support the flower without drooping; one of the most persistent bloomers and flowers at all times first-class; and from reports it adapts itself to all sections; it is as hardy as La France or Kaiserin so far as we can learn.  The color is clear lustrous yellow, varying somewhat in richness and depth according to the season of the year.  Flowers are of medium size, buds long and pointed, of perfect form; rich in texture and substance; with broad petals which reflex and make the ideal half blown flower.  True Tea fragrance.
