THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
Hardy Climbing Roses— 
SHOWER OF GOLD (Paul & Son, 1910) —(W.) The 
color is a deep golden-yellow, with orange shad¬ 
ings in the center. This fills the “long felt want” 
for a “Yellow 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, beautifully cupped, forming a clemat- 
ls-like flower. The large bunch of yellow sta¬ 
mens in the center adds to its attractiveness. 
SOURCE DE OR (Turbat & Co., 1913) —(W.) Color 
golden-yellow. A great acquisition, producing 
large panicles of flowers. A decided beauty. 
SWEET LAVENDER (Paul & Son, 1912) — (Mtf.) 
Newer Varieties—Concluded 
Bright pale mauve or lavender, with golden sta¬ 
mens. Most distinct. Large bunches of flowers. 
WICHMOSS, or “BAR Y MOSS” (Barbier, 1912) —(C. 
M.) This is a wonderful break in Roses, being a 
cross between the “Wichuraiana” and “Moss 
Rose.” It has retained the scandent habit of the 
“Wichuraiana,” making 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 daybreak-pink in color, opening into bloom 
that is a good semi-double in fullness. A climb¬ 
ing moss is a wonder; hardy.

low, center golden-yellow; full and double, flow¬ 
ering in clusters. 
BALTIMORE BELLE (Feast, 1843) — (S.) Blush-

climber. An old favorite. 
CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or MISS G. MESS- 
MAN (Messman, 1911) — (C. P.) Everyone knows 
how Baby Rambler is always in bloom. This is 
simply a climbing form of Baby Rambler, em¬ 
bracing all its good qualities. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER (Turner, 1893)—C. P.) Bright 
crimson flowers produced in large clusters of pyr¬ 
amidal form; grand variety for pillars and arches 
and to train over porches; also .makes a fine at¬ 
tractive hedge. Awarded gold medal, N. R. S. A 
Rose for the masses. 
DOROTHY PERKINS (Perkins, 1902) — (W.) A 
most beautiful deep pink; the flowers are borne

very sweetly scented; quite first-class. Another 
Rose for the masses.

Flowers when open run four inches and over in 
diameter. The center is built high, petals beau¬ 
tifully undulated and cupped. The color is a re¬ 
markable delicate shade of flesh-pink on the outer 
surface, deepening to rosy-flesh in the center. 
EXCELSA —See Red Dorothy Perkins. 
EMPRESS OF CHINA (Jackson, 1896) — (C. C.) 
Bright pink; in large clusters. 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD (Ludorf, 1908) — (C. P.) 
A counterpart of Crimson Rambler in every re¬ 
spect, except that it shows ever-blooming tenden¬ 
cies, many new growths being terminated with a 
large cluster of flowers. 
FORTUNE’S DOUBLE YELLOW, or BEAUTY OF 
GLAZENWOOD (Fortune, 1845)—(II. N.) Yellow 
flaked with carmine. This is a great Rose in Cal¬ 
ifornia, where it is seen at its best, although 
suited for general planting. 
GARDENIA (Soupert & Notting, 1900)—(W.) Bright 
yellow, cream color when open; very fragrant 
and free; early flowering. This is the hardy 
Marechal Niel; double* yellow flowering. 
HIAWATHA (Walsh, 1905)—(W.) Its flowers are 
about one and one-half inches across, and pro¬ 
duced 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. 
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. 
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 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. 
MARY' WASHINGTON (Origin unknown) — (Mtf.) 
Pure white, perfectly double, in immense clusters; 
fine. 
PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER (Conard, 1902) — (C. P.) 
Glowing crimson; large clusters; fine. 
PRAIRIE QUEEN (Feast, 1843) — (S.) The old 
standby red climber. It is so hardy that it de¬ 
lights in the climate of Alaska and Canada. 
RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA (Walsh, 
1909) — (W.) It is a good deal to claim for a Rose, 
but we are within bounds when we describe Ex- 
celsa as a brilliant Crimson Rambler flower on 
glossy, varnished Wichuraiana foliage. The de¬ 
fects of Crimson Rambler, are its unsightly foliage 
in unseasonable weather, and its detonation by 
insects; the infusion of Wichuraiana blood as¬ 
sures 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 hardy 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 scarjet. The finest 
of all Crimson Ramblers. 
RUSSELL’S COTTAGE (Origin unknown) — (Mtf.) 
Dark red; double and full; very hardy. 
SEVEN SISTERS (Origin unknown) — (Mtf.) Crim¬ 
son to white and all intermediate shades; extra. 
An old favorite. 
TAUSENDSCHOEN or THOUSAND BEAUTIES 
(Schwartz, 1906) — (C. P.) 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; will become as famous as 
Crimson Rambler or Dorothy Perkins. 
TENNESSEE BELLE (Origin unknown — (Mtf.) 
Beautiful pink; free bloomer; an old standby. 
TRIER (Lambert, 1904) — (C. P.)' Large clusters of 
creamy-white blooms, with dark yellow anthers, 
flowering freely. 
VEILCHENBLAF.THE BLUE ROSE (Schmidt, 1909) 
(C. P.) This is a much better Rose than some 
give it credit for. 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 Crim¬ 
son Rambler as a red, and Dorothy Perkins as a 
Pink. This Rose has no rival as a white climber. 
YTCLLOYV RAMBLER, or AGLAIA (Lambert, 1896) — 
(C. P.) Bright yellow changing to canary-yellow; 
produced in pyramidal clusters of fifty or more 
blooms. 
Moss Roses 
of * the Rose - The origin of the double Moss Rose is left to con- 
nnHkeen favorites, for what can be more elegant than the bud of the Moss Rose 
and more delicious than its fragrance. Perfectly hardy. 
ELIZABETH ROYVE (Rowe, 1866) —This is an old 
favorite with its large deep pink buds well 
mossed. A beauty. 
MA1 *TIN (Portner, 1863) —Large, full flower 
of deep red; well mossed; fragrant. 
MOUSSELINE (Robert and Moreau, 1881) —Pure 
white flower, buds heavily and beautifully mossed. 
PRINCESS ADELAIDE (Laffay, 1845)—Deep blush- 
pink with buds that are thoroughly mossed. 
LE POILU (New Hybrid Moss.) Very fine, vigor¬ 
ous bush, with long, heavy branches bearing 
large, thick foliage of Moss Rose type. The flow¬ 
ers are produced in bouquets of eight to fifteen- 
large, double and well formed. Color, satin-rose 
shading to heliotrope, and nicely mossed.
