The Red Rose Rag was written by Madden and Wenrich to be sung by Dolly Connolly; a charming picture of her may be seen on the front cover of the original sheet music. It is a light-hearted piece with alliterative tongue twisters in the chorus, a typical period parlour song that beginners will find pleasant and indeed have no problems with.
The Red Rose Rag was published by Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York & Detroit, USA.
A tempo of 86 crotchets/min. is suggested.
