'Berkeley' rose References
Newsletter (Nov 2013) Page(s) 13. [From "California's oldest surviving roses", by Darrell Schramm] In 1895, he [Burbank] put Palo Alto and Berkeley on the market; these may have been hybrid tea roses. For a brief time they were sold by Sherwood Hall, the nursery of Timothy Hopkins who founded the town of Palo Alto. But the roses quickly faded from the marketplace.
Website/Catalog (1895) Page(s) 79. Sunset Seed & Plant Co. (Sherwood Hall Nursery Co.) 'Berkeley' -- A charming rose of great promise, especially beautiful in the bud, which is long and pointed; color deep crimson; a profuse bloomer, with dark, healthy, glossy foliage; a strong grower. After two years trial we can with confidence recommend it; in fact we consider Berkeley the best dark rose ever raised in California. Price, 3-inch pots, 50 cts. each.
