Hardy Climbing Roses—Concluded 
MARY WASHINGTON (Origin unknown, (Mtf.) — Pure 
white perfectly double, in immense clusters; fine. 
PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER (Conard, 1902) (C. P.) _ 
Glowing crimson; large clusters; fine; several shades 
darker in color than Crimson Rambler. 
PRAIRIE QUEEN (Feast, 1843) (S.) — The old standby 
red climber. It is so hardy that it delights in the cli¬ 
mate of Alaska and Canada. 
RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELS A (Walsh, 1909) 
(W.)—It is a good deal to claim for a Rose, but we are 
within bounds when we describe Excelsa as a brilliant 
Crimson Rambler flower on glossy, varnished Wichura- 
iana foliage. The defects of Crimson Rambler are its 
unsightly foliage in unseasonable weather, and its de¬ 
foliation by insects; the infusion of Wichuraiana blood 
assures an ornamental climber which is nearly ever¬ 
green, and this will assure this lovely crimson-scarlet 
pillar Rose a place in every American garden, for it is 
quite hady in addition to all its other fine points. The 
flowers are very double, produced in large trusses of 
thirty to forty, and almost every eye on a shoot produces 
clusters of flowers. The color is intense crimson-maroon, 
the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The finest of 
all Crimson Ramblers. 
RUSSELL’S COTTAGE (Origin unknown) (Mtf.)—Dark 
red; double and full; very hardy. 
SEVEN SISTERS (Origin unknown) (Mtf.)—Crimson to 
white and all interediate shades; extra. An old fav¬ 
orite. 
TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES (Schwartz, 
1906) (C. P.)—A climbing Rose that comes to us from 
Germany. The flowers upon first opening are the most 
delicate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose, might be 
described as a white, delicate flushed pink, changing to 
rosy-carmine. It gets its name from its many flowers 
and the variation In coloring; beautiful; will become as 
famous as Crimson Rambler or Dorothy Perkins. We 
wrote the above a year ago, and now we can add that 
this Rose Is sweeping the country like a prairie fire. 
You can word paint all you want to and then you will 
have left something unsaid. Simply a wonder. 
TENNESSEE BELLE (Origin unknown) (Mtf.) — Beauti¬ 
ful pink; free bloomer; an old standby. 
TRIER (Lambert, 1904) (C. P.) — Large clusters of creamy- 
white blooms, with dark yellow anthers, flowering free¬ 
ly; quite hardy. 
VEILCHENBLAU, THE BLUE ROSE (Schmidt, 1909) (C. 
P.) — This is a much better Rose than some give it credit 
for being. It opens a reddish-violet, quickly changing 
to violet-blue. 
WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS (B. R. Cant, 1908) (W.)— 
It has been the cry of nurserymen for years for a white 
climber that would rank up with Crimson Rambler, and 
now we have the pleasure of offering this White Dorothy 
Perkins, that in every way is the equal, if not superior 
to Crimson Rambler as a red, and Dorothy Perkins as a 
pink. This Rose has no rival as a white climber. 
YELLOW' RAMBLER, or AGLATA (Lambert, 1S96) (C. P.) 
— Bright yellow changing to canary-yellow; produced in 
pyramidal clusters of fifty or more blooms. 
Moss Roses 
These are probobly a sport of the Cabbage Rose. The origin of the double Moss Rose is left to conjecture. They 
have always been favorites, for what can be more elegant than the bud of the Moss Rose and more delicious than 
its fragra nce . Perfectly hardy. 
ELIZABETH ROWE (Rowe, 1866)—This is an old favorite MOUSSELINB (Robert and Moreau. 1881)—-Pure white 
with its large deep pink buds well mossed. A beauty. flower, buds heavily and beautifully mossed. 
HENRI MARTIN (Portner. 1863) — Large, full flower of PRINCESS ADELAIDE (Laffay. 1845)—Deep blush-pink 
deep red; well mossed; fragrant. with buds that are thoroughly mossed. 
Miscellaneous Roses 
Under this heading are listed all the Roses that are not embraced in the different families or types that we name 
in the preceding pages. , 
AMOENA, The Pink Flowering Cherokee Rose (Hock- 
bridge, 1909) (L.)—This wonderful beautiful new Laevi¬ 
gata or Cherokee Rose, was raised in California, and it 
will sweep the state like wild-fire when it is once known. 
The flowers are the same as the White Flowering Chero¬ 
kee, except that the color is a glowing pink with a gold¬ 
en-yellow center. Resembles huge apple blossoms. 
Sto ck s carce. We have a fine lot. 
ARTHUR R. GOODWIN (Pernet Ducher, 1909) (A. B.) — 
This is a genuine “Pernetiana,” and is perfectly hardy 
everywhere. The color is coppery orange-red, passing 
to salmon-pink as the flowers expand. A superb combi¬ 
nation of color; flowers medium to large and full. 
Should prove a valuable garden Rose. 
DOUBLE LAEVIGATA, or the Double Flowering Cherokee 
(California, 1900) (L.)—A beautiful hardy Rose, bear¬ 
ing double white flowers; very fine. Foliage is very 
distinct. 
LAEVIGATA, the Single White Cherokee Rose (Lindley. 
1820) (L.)—This is the famous Cherokee Rose so well 
known in California. Large, pure white flowers with 
center filled with golden-yellow anthers. 
MADAME EDWARD HERRIOTT (Pernet Ducher) (A. 
B.)—“The Daily Mail Rose.” Winner of the gold cup 
which was offered by the London Daily Mail, for the 
best new Rose, exhibited at the International Horticul¬ 
tural Exhibition, held in London, England, May, 1912 
(this was the greatest horticultural exhibition ever held) 
and to be known as the Daily Mail Rose. In competi¬ 
tion with the world’s greatest rosarians for this much 
coveted prize was awarded to M. Pernet Ducher for this 
wonderful novelty. Tt was again exhibited in London 
on May 1, 1913, at the exhibition of the National Rose 
Society of England, where it was awarded the Society’s 
gold medal. This variety is said to be the progeny of 
an unnamed seedling of Caroline Testout, and an un¬ 
named variety of the Pernetiana class. The plant is a 
strong, vigorous grower, of spreading, branching habit, 
with numerous long thorns and bronzy-green foliage. 
M. Pernet Ducher describes its color as follows: ‘‘Buds 
coral-red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open 
flowers of medium size, semi-double, are of a superb 
coral-red, shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet, 
passing to shrimp-red.” One of our American corres¬ 
pondents, a friend of the introducer, who had the pleas¬ 
ure of testing it in this country, says: “A wonderful 
Rose. The bud is long, slender and pointed, the color is 
like sunshine on a copper-red metal.” 
NEW CENTURY (Conard, 1891) (R.)—A grand Rose that 
is entirely hardy, bearing beautiful silvery-pink flowers 
in clusters. This Rose is in bloom all the time. Extra 
fine for nurserymen. 
SIR THOMAS LEPTON (Conard, 1 905) (R.)—The best pure 
white Rugosa Rose. Strong and vigorous; grows four 
feet high. Flowers perfectly double, pure snow-white. 
Fragrant, borne on long stems continuously throughout 
the season. Absolutely hardy everywhere. Splendid for 
hedging, cemetery and park work.

Coppery old-rose, shaded with yellow. The inner petals 
are deeply tinted with carmine, while the center ones 
are sometimes striped with yellow. Flower large, full, 
elongated; very floriferous. 
WHITE BANKSIA, or Lady Bunks (ICeer, 1807) (L. B.) — 
A vigorous grower, in California growing to the top of 
tall trees and completely enveloping the entire tree; 
small double, pure white flowers in clusters, with true 
Violet fragrance. Indeed, if one were blindfolded, he 
could not detect the odor from Violets. Very desirable. 
WICHURAIANA, or MEMORIAL ROSE (Dr. Wichura. of 
Japan, 1886) (W.) — It is difficult to conceive anything 
more appropriate, beautiful and enduring for covering 
graves and plots in cemeteries than the Hardy Memorial 
Rose. It creeps along the ground as closely as an Ivy. 
The flowers are produced in lavish profusion in July. 
They are single, pure white, with a golden yellow disc, 
five to six inches in circumference. It is also immensely 
valuable as a climbing Rose, covering arches, fences, etc. 
WILLOWMERE (Pernet Ducher, 1913) (A. B.)-—Color 
rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the center, and ton¬ 
ing to carmine-pink towards the edges of the petals.

carmined coral bud, carried on long, stout flower stalks. 
Very large flower, full, and of elongated cup shape. A 
superb Rose.

is sulphur-yellow. Has the same delicious Violet fra¬ 
grance.
