CALIFORNIA NURSERY CO., INC^ OLDEST AND LARGEST 
Queen of Edgely or Pink American Beauty (H. P.; 
Floral Exchange, 1897.) Pink. Sport from 
American Beauty. Just the same, except much 
lighter colored. An elegant rose, certainly 
deserving of its synonym, "Pink American 
Beauty." 
Radiance (H. T.; Cook, 1909.) Soft carmine pink. 
Flowers are large and cup-shaped, unusually 
elongated, very double, sweetly scented. Growth 
vigorous and erect, with spreading branches. 
Blooms freely. Well liked. 
*Reine Marie Henriette (H. T.; Level, 1878.) 
Cherry red. A great favorite among the climb- 
ers. Flowers very large, full, freely borne, 
attractively colored and fragrant. Susceptible 
to mildew during the early part of the season. 
*Reine Olga de Wurtemburg (H. T.; Nabonnand, 
1881.) Dazzling red. Flowers large, semi- 
double and borne in great profusion. Foliage 
especially handsome. Thrives exceptionally 
well under the trying conditions around San 
Francisco Bay. 
♦Reve d'Or (Nois.; Ducher, 1869.) Light yellow, 
shaded buff. Flowers are of medium size, well 
formed and borne very freely. One of the best 
yellow climbers, 
Rhea Reid (H. T.; Hill, 1908.) Crimson scarlet. 
Color rich and satisfying. Flowers large, 
double and as fragrant as La France. Petals 
velvety. A splendid addition to the limited 
number of good reds in this class. 
Richmond (H. T.; Hill, 1905.) Scarlet, lightly 
shaded crimson. In the bud this closely re- 
sembles Liberty, but as the flowers open the 
color is better retained. The coloring of half- 
opened flowers is very rich. Blooms freely and 
has good fragrance. 
•Silver Moon (Wichuraiana Hybrid; Henderson, 
1910 ) Pure white, single, very large. Golden 
stamens very conspicuous. Stems long. Foliage 
glossy bronze green. Remarkably strong 
grower. Very hardy. 
Soleil d'Or (Pern.; Pemet-Ducher, 1900.) Golden 
yellow shaded nasturtium red. Flowers large, 
very full and rather flat. Free blooming and 
extremely hardy, thriving readily in regions 
too cold for those with Tea blood. 
Souvenir de Wootton (H. T.; Cook, 1890.) Bright 
crimson. Flowers large, rather loose. Delight- 
fully sweet scented. Growth strong. Blooms 
freely. 
Souvenir du President Carnot (H. T.; Pemet- 
Ducher, 1895.) Rosy flesh, sometimes nearly 
white. Fine buds on long stems. Flowers large. 
Very free bloomer. 
Sunset (T.; Henderson, 1884.) Golden amber 
with a faint ruddy tinge. A sport from Perle 
des Jardins and the equal of that fine variety. 
The new foliage is very beautiful, a deep 
coppery red. 
Sweet Briar. The common Eglantine (Rosa rubigi- 
nosa), with simple, pink, single flowers and 
richly scented foliage. 
^Tatrsendschoen (Poly. ; Schwartz, 1 906. ) Deli- 
cate pink, shaded rosy carmine. Produces a 
great mass of bloom in spring. Wood is brown 
and absolutely thornless ; there are a few 
prickles on the leafstalks. Does not mildew. 
Rapidly attaining great popularity. 
Tipperary (H. T.j McGredy.) This is an Irish 
rose, a seedling of Mrs. Aaron Ward, which it 
resembles in foliage though not in habit, for it 
makes long, slender, stiff stems in a very short 
time, many of them to a plant, and every one 
tipped with a yellow flower. The bud is slender 
and sharply pointed and opens into a full 
rosette as Ward does. It is an improvement 
on Ward in its steady production of bloom 
throughout the season, and shows no inclina- 
tion towards resting in mid-winter. The color 
is clear yellow, about the tone of Melody; it will 
fall into the class of corsage roses, and for 
fancy table decoration; the open flower has a 
distinct satin surface; very free and continuous. 
Tip Top (Baby Doll) (DwL Poly.) The color is 
absolutely new and quite startling in its bril- 
liancy, golden yellow, tipped with clear, bright 
cerise. The little buds and blooms are very 
perfect in form, elegantly finished, and borne 
in fine erect panicles. Habit of the best, neat 
and compact. 
Ulrich Brunner (H. P.; Levet, 1881.) Cherry red. 
A truly magnificent rose. The color is bright 
and beautiful. The stems are long, raising the 
large, perfectly formed flowers well above the 
foliage. Thrive to perfection under our condi- 
tions and certainly should be included in every 
collection. 
*Veilchenblau (Poly.; Schmidt, 1909.) Reddish 
lilac, quickly changing to amethyst and steel 
blue. The celebrated "Blue Rose" and the only 
near approach to that color yet attained. 
Flowers semi-double and borne very freely. 
Has a rich and unique fragrance. 
Viscountess Folkstone (H. T.; Bennett, 1886.) 
Creamy pink, shading to a salmon center- 
Blooms freely. Flowers large and fragrant. 
Vigorous growth. 
Verna Mackay (H. T.; A. Dickson, 1912.) Fawn 
suffused sulphur. In bud stage it is amber 
yellow, slightly ruddy outside. The buds are 
pointed and spiral. Open flowers are of medium 
size and only moderately double, showing the 
odd red stamens. Fragrance is delightful, 
Walter Speed (H. T.) A vigorous, erect grower. 
Flowers of large size, deep lemon color, be- 
coming white as they develop; delightfully 
fragrant. 
White Maman Cochet. See Maman Cochet, White. 
White American Beauty. See Frau Karl Druschki. 
White Killarney (H. T.; Waban Co., 1909.) White. 
Identical except in color with Killarney, from 
which it is a sport. The long, full buds are 
handsome in shape and the open flower most 
refined and beautiful in form and texture. 
*Wichuraiana (Japanese Species.) White. Flowers 
are small and single, pure white, with showy 
yellow stamens. They have a delightful fra- 
grance all of their own. Foliage is deep gi*een 
and very lustrous. If trained up will make an 
excellent climbing rose, but when allowed to 
grow naturally the long, slender shoots grow 
flat on the ground. This, with its evergreen 
habit, makes it fine for covering banks. Some- 
times called Memorial Rose. 
William Shean (H. T.) Awarded Gold Medal by; 
the National Rose Society. Its color is pure 
pink, delicately veined with ocher. The flower^ 
are large, full, and of perfect form. The bus! 
is strong, vigorous, and free flowering. High^ 
recommended for outdoor planting. 
Winnie Davis (H. T.; Nanz & Neuner, 190^.) 
Flesh pink, outer petals silvery blush. Btds 
long pointed; flowers large and formed n^ch 
like Clara Watson or Miss Kate Moulton, ^Not 
very double. Growth vigorous, erect /and 
slender. An extremely heavy bloomer, pa/ticu- 
larly in spring. 
* VARIETIES STARRED ARE CLIMBERS. /
