Author Description

Excerpt from Roses, 1920 Hugonis is unlike any other Rose we know. We have watched it for years and have never yet known even a tip of a single branch to winterkill. The same excellent report comes from trials made in Massachusetts and Wisconsin. It bloomed here, this year, the first week in May, two weeks ahead of our otherwise earliest Roses. It is a spectacular show in itself. Every branch of the previous year's growth becomes lined on all sides, to the very tip, with closely set, wide-open, single owers like dainty yellow hollyhocks, and the branches bend over with the weight of bloom.
