Bourbon Roses.
Appoline
The blossoms of Appoline Rose are bright pink and crimson, the petals being marked on the outside and along the edges with silvery shades, charming from any angle. There is a decided fragrance at all times. The flowers are large and cupped, and hold their form until the petals drop. The plant is of vigorous growth and of good habit, and in most sections of the country is able to withstand cold winters without injury; however, in the Northern States a slight protection is desirable, and the plant will amply repay such care. Considered one of the best varieties of the Bourbon group, and it will illumine the garden with its bright blooms when other plants are relatively bare of flowers.
