Book (1915) Page(s) 42. "Rugosa Roses" by H. R. Darlington, Hon. Secretary N. R. S. Mercedes (Guillot, 1900). This is a very pretty flower in colour, which is a soft carnation pink on a white ground, and double. It is stated to be very hardy and vigorous, but curiously enough it is the only rugosa I have ever had that has not done well with me. My plant has never grown more than about 2 feet in height, with a slightly spreading habit. I shall have to make a new start with another plant.
