NEW ROSES. 



NEW CLIMBING MOSS ROSE, 



"Cumberland Belle." 



New Climbing Moss Rose, "Cumberland Belle '" 



We take pleasure in offering for the first 

 time to the legion of lovers of the Queen 

 of Flowers, this, the forerunner of anew 

 race of Roses, a grand true climbing Moss 

 Rose. It is of American origin, having 

 been found growing in a private 

 garden in the historic Cumberland 

 Valley — a sport from that pretty MossRose 

 Princess Adelaide, itself a strong vigorous 

 grower which is wonderfully developed in 

 the offspring, the original sport the first 

 season having attained a height of over 

 fifteen feet and had one hundred and 

 eighteen buds andflo-<.L<ers on it at one time. 

 The past season, planted side by side with 

 Crimson Rambler and otherrampant growers, 

 it fully equalled them in vigor of growth. 

 In color it is identical to the parent, a bright 

 silvery rose, very double ; the buds nicely 

 mossed and exquisitely fragrant. Altogether 

 a most unique and desirable acquisition.

This new variety is a cross between Hermosa and Dawson. A strong growing cluster-rose, of erect habit, entirely hardy, and is
