Magazine (1944) Page(s) 141-143. Vol 5, No. 7. Everblooming Ramblers. Stephen F. Hamblin, Lexington, Mass. A very similar variety is Carolyn Dean (R. S. Moore, 1941), which is also a hybrid of Miss Barbara x Sierra Snowstorm, and is thus a sister of Chiquita. It has single orange-flame flowers in clusters,—a Phyllis Bide with single flowers. But this variety is also for mild climates, for very cold winters slow it down to a weak grower.
