Hardy Climbing Roses— Standard Varieties—Concluded 
PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER (Conard, 1902)—(C. P.) 
Glowing crimson; large clusters; fine. 
PRAIRIE QUEEN (Feast, 1S43) — (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 Bx- 
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 defoliation 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 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.) Crim¬ 
son to white and all intermediate shades; extra. 
An old favorite. 
TAUSENDSCHOEN or THOUSAND BEAUTI E S 
(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. 1‘.) Large clusters of 
creamy-white blooms, with dark yellow anthers, 
flowering freely. 
VEILCHENBLAU, THE BLUE ROSE (Schmidt, 1909) 
(C. I*.) 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. 
YELLOW RAMBLER, or AGLAIA (Lambert, 1896) — 
(C. P.) Bright yellow changing to canary-yellow; 
produced in pyramidal clusters of fifty or more 
blooms. 
M oss Roses 
These are probably a sport of the Cabbage Rose. The origin of the double Moss Rose is left to con¬ 
jecture. They have always been favorites, for what can be more elegant than the bud of the Moss Rose 
and more delicious than its fragrance. Perfectly hardy. 
ELIZABETH ROWE (Rowe, 1866)—This is an old 
favorite with its large deep pink buds well 
mossed. A beauty. 
IIENIU MARTIN (Fortner, 1863)—Large, full flower 
of deep red; well mossed; fragrant. 
MOUSSELINE (Robert and Moreau, 1SS1)—Pure 
white flower, buds heavily and beautifully mossed. 
PRINCESS ADELAIDE (Laffay, 1S45) — Deep blush- 
pink with buds that are thoroughly mossed. 
M iscellaneous Roses 
in the different families or types that we 
name in the preceding pages. 
Under this heading are listed all the Roses not embraced 
.4MOENA, The Pink Flowering Cherokee Rose 
(Hockbridge, 1909)—(L.) The flowers are the 
same as the White Flowering Cherokee, except 
that the color is a glowing pink with a golden- 
yellow center. Resembles huge apple blossoms. 
ARTHUR R. GOODWIN (Pernet Ducher, 1909)—(A. 
B.) This is a genuine “Pernetiana,” and is per¬ 
fectly hardy everywhere. The* color is coppery 
orange-red, passing to salmon-pink as the flowers 
expand. A superb combination of color. 
DOUBLE LAEVIGATA, or the Double Flowering 
Cherokee (California, 1900)—(L.) A beautiful 
hardy Rose, bearing double white flowers; very 
fine. Foliage is very distinct. 
LAEVIGATA, the Single White Cherokee RoNe 
(Lindley, 1820)—(L.) This is the famous Chero¬ 
kee 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 In¬ 
ternational Horticultural Exhibition, held in Lon¬ 
don, England, May, 1912, and to be known as the 
Daily Mail Rose. In competition with the world’s 
greatest rosarians for this much coveted prize 
was awarded to M. Pernet Ducher for this won¬ 
derful novelty. It was again exhibited in Lon¬ 
don on May 1, 1913, at the exhibition of the Na¬ 
tional Rose Society of England, where it -was 
awarded the Society’s gold medal. 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.” A wonder¬ 
ful Rose. The bud is long, slender and pointed, 
the color is like sunshine on a copper-red metal. 
MADAME GEORGES BRUANT (Bruant, 1888)—(R.) 
Paper white, larger, very free and distinct, flow¬ 
ering in clusters; most beautiful. 
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. 
SIR THOMAS LIPTON (Conard, 1905)—(R.) The 
best pure white Rugosa Rose. Strong and vig¬ 
orous; grows four feet high. Flowers perfectly 
double, pure snow-white. Fragrant. 
VISCOUNT ENFIELD (Pernet Ducher, 1910) —(A. 
B.) Coppery old-rose, shaded with yellow. The 
inner petals are deeply tinted with carmine, while 
the center ones are sometimes striped with yel¬ 
low. 
WHITE BANKSIA, or Lady Ranks (Keer, 1807) — 
(L. B.) A vigorous grower, in California grow¬ 
ing to the top of tall trees and completely en¬ 
veloping the entire tree; small double, pure white 
flowers in clusters, with true violet fragrance, in¬ 
deed, if one were blindfolded, he could not detect 
the odor from Violets. Very desirable. 
WICHURAIANA, or MEMORIAL ROSE (Dr. Wich- 
ura, of Japan, 1886)—(W.) It is difficult to con¬ 
ceive anything more appropriate, beautiful and 
enduring for covering graves and plots in cem¬ 
eteries than the Hardy Memorial Rose. It creeps 
along the ground as closely as an Ivy. The flow¬ 
ers 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 im¬ 
mensely valuable as a Climbing Rose, covering 
arches, fences, etc. 
WILLOWMERE (Pernet Ducher, 1913)—(A. B.) 
Color rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the cen¬ 
ter, and toning to carmine-pink towards the edges 
of the petals. Vigorous growth, and erect, 
branching habit. Long carmined coral bud on 
long, stout flower stalks. 
YELLOW BANKSIA, or LADY BANKS (Damper, 
1827)— (L. B.) Same as White Banksia, except 
color of bloom is sulphur-yellow. Has the same 
delicious Violet fragrance.
