This variety, of which the wild parent plant is unknown, seems to have some relations to R. Simsii and may be of hybrid origin. It flowers early and very abundantly; hardy north to N. Y. There are some forms and crosses of this variety of which the following may be named: album, with white fls. M.D.G. 1903:476; Cald-wellii, with larger purple fls. (Geert, Ic. Az. 18); G. 32:21; Marvel, lilac-carmine, double (F.M. 11; 14); Princess Maud, rosy magenta (R.H. 1886:516); Mrs. Carmichael, crimson-magenta; Princess Beatrice, bright mauve; Prime Minister, soft pink; Miss Buist, pure white; Hexe (Firefly), deep crimson.
