Historic 1896 Rose Catalog Page - Peter Henderson & Co. Rare Rose Varieties #3867823 (License: Personal Use)

This 1896 catalog page from Peter Henderson & Co. features four celebrated rose varieties-Mrs. Pierpont Morgan, Madame Abel Chatenay, Belle Siebrecht, and The Yellow Rambler (‘Aglaia’)-each described with horticultural detail, hardiness traits, bloom characteristics, and tiered pricing by size. Illustrated by A. Blanc, the page combines fine-line engravings of lush climbing roses and close-up blooms with rich Victorian-era typography and branding, reflecting late-19th-century commercial floriculture.

Used on historical gardening archives, antique horticulture blogs, or museum digital collections to illustrate the evolution of rose breeding and early American nursery marketing; targets researchers, rose enthusiasts, and vintage print collectors seeking primary source material.
