*GOLDEN MOSS (Hybrid Moss) Yellow 



Here is one of the rarest Rose-treats of all 

 time — a yellow Moss Rose, the first one ever 

 produced. Moss Roses have been grown in 

 gardens since the sixteenth century, but they 

 have been confined to pink, red, and white. 

 Pedro Dot, of Spain, who has produced so many 

 sensational Roses during the past few years, 

 scrambled Blanche Moreau, the popular white 

 Moss, Souv. de Claudius Pernet, and Frau Karl 

 Druschki, and the result was Druschki's strong 

 growth, Pernet's color, and Moreau's moss. 

 Fat pinkish buds open a rich golden buff with a 

 pinkish tint. The flowers are about 3 inches in 

 diameter, fully double, and tv/ice fragrant — the 

 corolla has a delicious Rose perfume which is 

 almost hidden under the pungent scent of the 

 mossy calyx. The plant is symmetrical in 

 growth with attractive foliage. $2.50 each.
