'Pride of Washington' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

The 1913 Biltmore Rose Catalog, "The blossoms of the pride of Washington Rose may be described as bright amaranth, with a rose-shaded center. They are delicately constructed but stable upon the stem and are fragrant. The plant is strong and covers a good deal of territory in its rambling. The blossoms, large and double, come in clusters annually. Pride of Washington is not so well known as some of the other Climbing Roses, but it makes friends upon short acquaintance and wears well."

Magazine of Horticulture 13: 354-356 (August 1847)
Art. IV. Descriptions of Eight New Varieties of Prairie Roses. By the Editor.
Mr. Pierce raised twelve kinds, brief descriptions of which he sent us last season; but, as they only referred to the color of the flowers, we thought it preferable to delay their publication until we could render them complete. Most of our plants have flowered finely this year, and we have been enabled to do so, and we now annex the following descriptions of each:—
Pride Of Washington.—Flowers, medium size, pale rose, cupped and double, somewhat resembling Jane: clusters, medium size, numbering ten to twenty flowers: foliage, medium size, slightly serrated, and nearly smooth: habit, vigorous and good.
