Website/Catalog (1904) Page(s) 43. New Hardy Climbing Rose Ever-blooming Prairie Queen Introduced and for sale only by The Dingee & Conard Co. Among hardy Climbing Roses, that good old variety, Prairie Queen, has long been considered the best of its color. In this new Rose we believe we have a variety that is better. It blooms profusely the first year; even small pot plants produce numerous clusters of flowers, while a two-year-old plant will bear more flowers than a five-year-old plant of the older variety. Again this variety is a true perpetual bloomer, and while Prairie Queen produces but one crop of flowers in a year, Ever-blooming Prairie Queen blooms continuously throughout the entire season. The flowers are very fragrant, and in color dark carmine rose; large, very double and borne in clusters. It is perfectly hardy, having with us withstood 10° below zero unprotected and in an exposed position. Difficult to propagate, but once established is a good grower.
