86 Old Roses: Setigera Roses.
R. setigera is a tough, hardy native of the American prairies, and has
been used to produce a number of similarly tough and hardy climbers,
first of all in the mid-19th century by several American nurserymen
whose crosses with Noisettes, Gallicas, and no one knows what else,
gave us the very beautiful varieties 'Baltimore Belle', `Gem of the
Prairies', `Eva Corinne', `Queen of the Prairies', etc. Later breeders
were to add `Corporal Johann Nagy', `Ovid', `Mrs. F.F. Prentiss', and
eventually a series of modern climbers of which the best known,
perhaps, is `Doubloons'.
