ORIGINATED BY MRS. SHEPHERD
The “Oriole” Rose
Mrs. Shepherd’s Rose, “Oriole”
The beautiful “Oriole” is well worthy the land of its nativity, the Golden State. A fitting companion for its beautiful namesake that flits through the garden; for the gorgeous Eschscholtiza or California poppy, and the rich hued orange of our groves. This wonderful color is seen in no other tea rose. Oriole is perfectly healthy and vigorous. The Oriole is medium size, and bright green; it sends up strong canes and bears quantities of beautiful orange buds on long pliable stems; its open roses are similar in form to the charming and graceful rose Dr. Grill. It is always in bloom and owing to this characteristic is difficult to propagate, the wood being condition to send out fresh shoots at all seasons. Everyone is enchanted with it.
35 cents each.
Note - This rose should not be confounded with another rose which is being sent out under the same name. Ours is the original.
