Summary
Miniature plant. A Miniature standard rose bush in a square ceramic pot. The bush has pink roses made of stiffened cotton textile and possibly dried foliage, taped to a piece of wooden dowelling, then tied with cotton thread. The dowelling is set into a dark green velvet-covered base, which is inside a square, white ceramic pot, which has a leg at each corner. It is shaped as though made with planks and there are swags of pink roses with foliage on each side with blue ribbons at each top corner. There are several marks on the base. Given by Helenita Scott in 1903.
