Silver Moon. (1910.) So many have asked for this beautiful and unusual 
climber, we made it a happy addition to our list. “Big, saucer-shaped, moon-white 
flowers,” show amber stamens, and come in great mass clusters, over a long spring 
season. Needs room and its handsome, glossy foliage is decorative in itself. 1.50 
Soleil d’Or. Pernetiana. (1900.) To the famous English authority, Wil- 
liam Paul, writing in 1901, we are indebted for the following—"“A handsome and 
interesting hybrid. It is a cross between Persian Yellow and the H. P. Antoine 
Ducher. Flowers are deep golden yellow shaded nasturtium-red and rose; large, full 
and quite distinct—produced in summer and autumn. This varicty will probably 
be the forerunner of a perpetual flowering group of a very hardy tribe.” 1355 
Souv. dela Malmaison. Bourbon. (1843.) A famous and influential rose 
“with a haunting fragrance.” Another of our special favorites and of Mrs. Keays also, 
for she writes of it with much charm and favor—Souvenir de la Malmaison, 1843, a 
grand old rose and a tremendous favorite in the past. The bloom is often very large, 
always full, of refreshing fragrance. Its thick petals are quartered and neat, of a 
pale flesh-color with center rosy or rosy buff, the light playing over them with a 
translucence which is enchanting and typical, like the light of history over the mis- 
tress of Malmaison.” 
From Dr. Nicolas’ The Rose Manual, 1934, we print this interesting comment— 
1 well remember in my father’s garden was a large bed of his favorite rose, Souvenir 
de la Malmaison. Every second plant was pruned at medium height, the ones 
between, close to the ground. The long plants would bloom first, then the short 
ones, and the succession was maintained throughout the season. In the end, the 
short pruned plants were as high as the others.” Maybe we have something here! 
Bush and climbing. 2.00 
Souvenir of Wootton. H. Tea. (1888.) Rated Hybrid Tea but with 
Hybrid Perpetual characteristics predominating; tall, lusty. recurrent bloom; some- 
what similar to Mme. Victor Verdier in the way it grows strong canes topped with 
as many as nine enormous blooms; but the color is a deeper, richer carmine and the 
perfume is heavier. Rated special mention for outstanding performance in our 
spring inspection notes, each season. 
Dr. R. C. Creelman, Bremerton, Washington, writes—Souvenir of Wootton is in 
a bed with many other red roses and I believe it has the best color and form of all; 
the fragrance certainly beats any of them.” 1.35 
Studienrat Schlenz. Cli. H. Tea. (1926.) Let’s agree, right off, the 
name is terrible, but watch out—as you get the hang of it, it may fascinate you, 
as it did this writer when he first saw it listed years ago, in Frank Lester’s catalogue. 
Our parent plant grows tall, under an apple tree in the front garden, and all summer 
long, its large, satin, pale-pink blooms, with that crisp starched look, smile down at 
us through the apple foliage. Better find a spot for this one—and, if the name 
displease you, we will leave off the tag! 1.75 
Sunlit. H.T. (1937.) A compact bush producing profusely, large, globular 
blooms of richest apricot, a rare shade in roses. Whenever you see the trademark of 
that great Australian hybridist, the late Allister Clark, you can be sure of a fine plant, 
and a bloom of top-ranking distinction. 1.50
