Magazine (22 Jan 1898) Page(s) 655. Includes photo(s). New Rose— Mrs. Robert Garrett. The subject of our illustration is the new rose Mrs. Robert Garrett. The American Rose 'Co., Washington, D.C.say that this is one of the few hybrid teas which do not go to sleep in winter but that it remains in active growth through the season. The color of the flowers in a properly grown specimen is an exquisite shade of pink. It is said to be superior in color to Madame Caroline Testout (this is high praise indeed). The form of the flowers is all that can be desired and it is claimed to be remarkably free in bloom, the cut flowers keeping and developing well. The rose is being introduced by the American Rose Co. and by H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md. H. Weber & Sons were awarded a cultural certificate for this rose at the American Institute Exhibition in New York last week.
