Gloire Des Mousseux. Moss. (1852.) (Glwawr-day-Moo-soh.) . This 
is the favorite Moss rose of the experts, with a more dramatic, bold and hand- 
some quality than the others. “’. . . Another excellent survivor is Gloire des Mousseux, 
a French rose of 1852. The fragrant bloom is very large, full and proud in bearing; free in 
coming, strong in staying. The color is flesh pink with a deeper pink center. The form is 
globular like R. Centifolia and the foliage is large, strong, and plentiful. Clustering 
blooms, reflexing sepals, and mossy, bristly, flowering branch tell us that here is a hybrid, 
Centifolia, Damascena and who knows what else.’’-—Mnrs. Keays. 
Used extensively by professional flower-artist, Virginia Nielsen of Carmel, 
Cal., along with Crested Moss and other Mosses, to make the most charming 
corsages we ever saw. 
We are again indebted to Mrs. Hortense Wild, Cary, Ilinois,—‘*Glozre des 
Mousseux,—that moss of Junoesque size and form, ‘high’ color, and long, elaborately 
befringed sepals! Even the foliage is unusually large and beautiful, as befits arose of such 
sumptuous proportions,—a ‘glory she is, indeed!’’ Funny,—so, it’s a “‘she’’, Mrs. 
Wild. All the time I have been thinking of this big and handsome, as a male.

Goethe. (1911.) We should say right off this is a connoisseur’s Moss 
Rose—not for those of you who are expecting the big, lush pink blooms of old- 
time gardens. The flowers are single, about 114”, magenta, with white centers. 
The long pointed buds are so covered with moss they seem to be wearing fur 
coats. Certainly different and to us, delightful. 
I desist to make room for Hon. Secretary, who likes Goethe in a big way— 
“I think the new canes are one of its most distinctive features—the whole plant lights up 
when the sun hits the brilliant red thorns and there is a picture in contrasts—the brilliant 
thorns and canes, and the blue-green, rough textured foliage.”

Golden Moss. (1932.) This we consider far superior to Yellow Moss 
which we have discontinued. Flowers are many petalled, large and cupped,— 
very beautiful indeed, especially if planted in part shade to promote best color. 
Can be made to bloom profusely if you will follow either the “‘pegging’’ or spe- 
cial pruning methods, described in the introduction to Moss Roses. Our Golden 
Moss plants this summer are now the biggest and bushiest in the field.

an excellent plant—which shows no mildew with us. 2.00 
Jeanne de Montfort. Moss. (1851.) A vigorous, tall-growing and well 
furnished bush with unusually handsome emerald-green foliage. Blooms in large 
clusters, the heavily mossed buds, starting dark carmine and opening to soft 
pink, 2%" double blooms, with that unforgettable fragrance. This has proved 
a proud addition to our Moss collection. 
The favorite Moss Rose of the late Mr. Lambertus Bobbink . . . Jeanne could 
receive no higher compliment. 
Says Hon. Secretary, coming in from field inspection,—' ‘Jeanne has an unusual 
color among the Mosses,—a Grande Duchesse Charlotte tone in the bud, opening soft, 
violet-rose, edged and shaded with deep lacquer red, and exceptionally long sepals.”’

La Neige. Moss. (1905.) (Nezh.) A sport of the favorite old Blanche 
Moreau. Roy Shepherd rates it “‘about the best of the white Mosses.’’ We admire 
particularly, the brilliant foliage, with the fine crimson prickles along the stems, 
which turns a distinct purple tinge in late summer. Very elegant and unique 1s 
La Neige, “‘with its shapely buds gleaming from their bright green garment.”
