Thornless Rambler—Deep rose, free flowering and • as 
vigorous a climber as Crimson _ Rambler, with long, nar¬ 
row and pointed leaves changing, in color like autumn 
forest leaves and yet holding its foliage. Absolutely 
thornless in both leaf and stem, disproving the old adage, 
“No Rose without a thorn.” 
Trier—(Lambert, 1904.) creamy-white, semi-double, 
free and continuous, producing in large clusters. 
Ulrich Brunner—Brilliant cherry-red flowers of im¬ 
mense size and bold globular form. Seedling of Paul Ney- 
ron, strong and disease resisting. 
Universal Favorite—Beautiful rosy-pink, resembling 
“Bridesmaid;” large and double; a rapid climber or trailer 
of free branching and blooming habit. 
Veilchenblau—(Violet Blue or Blue Rambler, Schmidt, 
1909.) A sport from Crimson Rambler and as vigorous a 
climber; . produces immense panicles of blooms, opening 
reddish lilac, changing to amethyst and steel-blue. A Ger¬ 
man novelty of recent introduction, the nearest approach 
to a blue Rose. 
Vick’s Caprice—A variegated hardy Rose; large, fra¬ 
grant and attractive flowers of satiny-pink, distinctly striped 
and shaded with white and bright carmine; slightly cup¬ 
shaped, but full and deep; blooms at frequent intervals 
during the entire season; healthy and vigorous. 
Violet Blue—(See Veilchenblau.) 
Virginia R. Coxe—(See Gruss an Teplitz.) 
Viridiflora—The only green Rose extant, deep pea- 
green blooms, same in color as the foliage. 
Wellesley—(A. Montgomery, 1905.) Bright, clear sal¬ 
mon-rose, reverse of petals silvery-rose; retains the form 
of Liberty and the fullness of Bridesmaid, its parents; 
tall, stiff canes; vigorous, healthy and free. 
White American Beauty—(See Frau Karl Druschki.) 
White Banksia—Small, double, pure white flowers in 
clusters, with violet fragrance. A vigorous grower. 
White Baby Rambler—(See Catherine Zeimet, Jeanne 
d’Arc.or Zclia Bourgeois.) 
White Bougere—Pure, ivory-white, with never a tint or 
shade whatever; free flowering, large, full and double; 
a favorite in the South especially. 
White Dorothy Perkins—(Cant, 1908.) A pure white 
sport from Dorothy Perkins, with which it is identical in 
foliage and habit. A valuable addition to the hardy climber 
White Golden Gate—(See Ivory.) 
White Hermosa—(See Marie Lambert.) 
White Killarney—(Waban, 1909.) A pure white sport 
from the pink parent, the newest thing in a forcing Rose, 
admittedly a strong competitor of The Bride. Our stock is 
of the true Waban strain. 
White La France—(Auguste Guinoisseau.) Large and 
finely formed ,buds and blioms having broad petals of 
silvery-white with very delicate pink shadings. A frag¬ 
rant, free and continuous bloomer. 
White Maman Cochet—Very large and beautifully 
formed in bud and bloom; pure waxy-white under glass, 
taking on a faint pink flush out of doors which enhances 
its beauty. Vigorous and produces abundantly for cutting.
