Book (1847) Page(s) 276. Indica Major is a hybrid climbing rose, of most luxuriant growth and nearly evergreen foliage. Its flowers are very large, double and of a delicate rose color. The very rapid growth of this rose makes it excellent for covering old buildings. We recollect being shown last spring, at the Bartram garden of Philadelphia, a fine old plant which had covered the whole side of the house, and presented a beautiful appearance. Buist states it to be this variety.
