This fine semi-double Rose is known amongst cultivators by the
appellation of Royal or Queen’s Province, and considered as an excellent
forcing Rose, and much esteemed by those nurserymen who with the
assistance of the hot-stove bring flowers into a premature state of
inflorescence. Like all the other Province species, its natural period
of blooming is during the months of June and July.
