"Ruth's Steeple Rose" Hybrid China. No rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Tall, slender-caned. Unknown, found. ..Deep rose-madder flowers with folded petals in a formal array surrounding a tall green pointel, the "steeple." One of our favorites for bouquets as it is so unique, making a handsome foil for the green-eyed flowers of Mme. Hardy.

p29 Three roses embody the exceptional beauty of the Hybrid Chinas: "Ruth's Steeple Rose", "Ruth's German Rose" and this ["Mary Lawrance's Shell Rose"]. All have light slender canes, smallish formal flowers of many petals, and coloring that is out of the ordinary.
