    This rose originated with H. Miles of New Jersey, May being the introducer: "Mr. John N. May, whose fame as a rosarian is well known, is to be credited with having introduced ‘Mrs. Pierpont Morgan’ to the notice of the public, he having secured the novelty by purchase from H. Miles of New Jersey, in whose place the sport appeared, on a plant of ‘Madame Cusin’," from American Agriculturist, vol. 57, 1896, p. 109.

    Contrary to the information on the description page, I doubt this rose is commercially available.

    Corrected. The historic archives listed on the Buy From page initiate an automatic "commercially available"

    Introducer May, in his 1895 ad in The American Florist (p. 859), its introductory year, gives the name of this rose as 'Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan'.

    Note the nasty-looking prickles on the underside of the leaves.
