Alba Odorata, or Marie Leonida, the Climbing Michrophylla [sic], is a very handsome rose. It is so densely covered with strong, prominent prickels that training or handling the vine in any way, is difficult. The prickly stems make cut-roses almost impossible.

General Jacqueminot, among famous roses of the world, was the most distinct and celebrated member of this family until the appearance of the American Beauty. Charitably granted the weakness of blooming but once a year, paradoxical yet true, both General Jacqueminot and American Beauty must be accorded high place among everbloomers. They simply reverse the season. Their bloom time is winter. Florists find them as constant during the winter months as the Teas during the summer. They supply the cut roses of winter under the heaviest demands of society. Under glass, they make the winter garden brilliant.

American Beauty is a rose that virtually constitutes a part of current American social history. It is the rose of roses of American origin. The daughter of our distinguished historian, Mr. George Bancroft, first saw the rose in bloom in the rose nursery of Mr. Anthony Cook. of Baltimore. She purchased the plant and had it transplanted to her father's rose garden in Washington City [19th century name for Washington, D.C.]. Mr. Cook is very positive that it is one of nine hundred seedling roses that he raised. Mr. Field, the well-known florist of Washington City, obtained cuttings from Mr. Bancroft's plant. He propagated a large number of plants, forced the blooms, and introduced American Beauty to commerce. His new rose took Washington City by storm. [There is no indication that the author was aware of Mme. Ferdinand Jamin or claims that the two roses were the same.]

Where They Sleep [chapter on memorial roses]
Cornelia Cook and Triumph of Luxemburg were two more beloved roses devoted to sacred purposes in that dear place and time. Cornelia Cook is a very long-lived rose and ever and always a constant bloomer. Like a Camellia Japonica, it is large, full, smooth-petaled, of waxen texture and as white as driven snow. The beauty of the bloom is not all; the rose bush is symmetrical, luxuriant and clothed with rich green foliage after every other deciduous plant has been stripped of its leaves by wintry blasts. Even after a heavy frost or a light freeze, on the warm, sunshiny days that sometimes come, in the still, soft air, white phantom-like roses will unfold, perfect visions of beauty by contrast with the stricken verdure of the late season. Cornelia Cook, the queen of the white roses of the fifties, was laid at the feet of the queen of song, Jenny Lind. In many old gardens and burying places of the South, fifty-year-old Cornelia Cook rose-bushes are vigorous everbloomers, the plenitude of roses as perfect and beautiful as in the time of their first young growth. Oh, beautiful rose, so fair and so constant!
