THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
Hardy Climbing Roses—Concluded 
I) ON AN (W.)—A lovely shade of violet-blue, the best yet 
we have in blue Roses. Single blooms measure 1% to 
2 inches in diameter. When opening color is reddish- 
violet, turning to violet-blue. 
GRUSS VON TANNENHOF (Lambert, 1913) (W.)—The 
darkest dowering of all hardy climbing Roses. Color 
velvety crimson with shades of carmine; blooms meas¬ 
ure 1 to 1 1 /> inches in diameter. Extra. 
LE MEXIQUE (Schwartz, 1913) (W.)—Delicate silvery- 
rose, turning to rosy-white, reverse of petals light rose. 
Large for its class. Flowers full, opening well, pro¬ 
duced in clusters. Continuous and perpetual flowering. 
SHOWER OF GOLD (Paul & Son, 1910) (W.)—This varie¬ 
ty produces masses of flowers in large clusters. The 
color is a deep golden-yellow, with orange shadings in 
the center. Enormous lateral branches are produced, 
which are densely clad with glossy green foliage that 
resists disease. This fills the “long felt want" for a 
“ Yello w Rambler." 
SILVER MOON (Henderson, 1910) (W.)—Flowers very 
large, four and one-half inches and over in diameter. 
Pure white in color; petals of great substance, beauti¬ 
fully cupped, forming a clematis-like flower. The large 
bunch of yellow stamens in the center adds to its at¬ 
tractiveness. These flowers are borne on strong stems 
twelve to eighteen inches long, and are delicately scent¬ 
ed. The plant is a strong grower, with large, glossy, 
bronze-green foliage. 
SOURCE DE OR (Turbat & Co., 1913) (W.)—A most beau¬ 
tiful variety. Large for its class. Full flowers. Color 
golden-yellow. A great acquisition, producing large 
panicles of flowers. A decided beauty. 
SWEET LAVENDER (Paul & Son, 1912) (Mtf.)—Bright 
pale mauve or lavender, with golden stamens. Most 
distinct. Dense, dark green foliage and many large 
bunches of flowers. Very vigorous. 
WICHMOSS, or “BABY MOSS" (Barbier, 1912) (C. M.) — 
This is a wonderful break in new Roses, being a cross 
between the “Wichuraiana" and “Moss Rose." It has 
retained the scandent habit of the “Wichuraiana," mak¬ 
ing long growths five to eight feet in length with the 
glazed resistant foliage, while the bud is heavily mossed 
in bright green and has the peculiar aromatic odor of 
the moss family. The flowers are borne in clusters 
that are a day-break-pink in color, opening into bloom 
that is a good semi-double in fullness. A climbing 
moss is a wonder, and “Wichmoss” is the forerunner 
of an entirely new family of Roses; hardy.

pink; in large clusters. 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD (Ludorf, 1908) (C. P.)—A 
counterpart of Crimson Rambler in every respect, ex¬

growths being terminated with a large cluster of flowers. 
FORTUNE'S DOUBLE YELLOW, or BEAUTY OF GLAZ- 
ENWOOD (Fortune, 1845) (H. N.)—Yellow, flaked with 
carmine; very charming color. This is a great Rose in 
California, where it is seen at its best, although suited

abundantly in large umbels; attractive and fascinating. 
HIAWATHA (Walsh, 1905) (W.)—This Rose is just com¬ 
ing into its own, being largely forced in pots for Easter 
time, and its good qualities as a grand outdoor climber 
are becoming known. There is no other Rose so bril¬ 
liant as Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. 
Its flowers are about one and one-half inches across, 
and produced in long, pendulous sprays, with frequently 
from forty to fifty flowers on a spray. In color it is 
brilliant, ruby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a 
mass of golden stamens — a glowing combination of colors 
which can be seen at a great distance, and which does 
not tire the eye as do masses of Crimson Rambler. Tho 
plant is of strong, vigorous growth, with bright green, 
glossy foliage, which is retained until late in fall. 
LADY GAY (Walsh, 1903) (W.)—Flowers of a deep 
cherry-pink, shading on the edge of the petals to a 
very delicate soft tone of pink. Will cover a large porch 
or trellis in an incredibly short time. E’xtra fine. 
MADAME ALFRED CARRIERE (Schwartz, 1879) (H. N.) 
—Pure white, suffused with yellow at base of petals; 
very free and very fragrant; fine for arches and pillars. 
In Ohio this is a wonderful Rose, completely hiding 
itself with flowers. In Oregon it grows to the roofs of 
two-story houses, covering the entire side or end of a 
large sized house, and simply a wilderness of blooms.
