A good constitution is a great help to a rose, and so is a memorable name. Those two assets must have helped 'General MacArthur' to its 40 years in favour, because it was not a remarkable rose in other respects. The colour is cherrry red, the flowers are thin,  open quickly, and possess no great charm in form.  But it was healthy, it grew well and flowered freely. It was usually considered a red rose, but I fear some disappointments may have come to those who assumed it was dark red. Raised by the E. G. Hill Company of Richmond, Indiana, and introduced in 1905.
