GLOIRE DES MOUSSEUX—’"A Classic among the Mosses.”’ 
GLOIRE DES MOUSSEUX. (1852.) 4-5 feet. (Glwawr-day-Moo-soh). 
This is the favorite Moss rose of the experts, with a more dramatic, bold 
and handsome quality than the others. Bloom is globular, Junoesque, 
with elaborately fringed sepals . . . flesh-pink with rosy centers, coming 
on strong stems, surrounded by large, luxuriant foliage. 
A classic among the Mosses! : 3 for 5.25 each 2.00 
GOETHE. (1911.) 5-6 feet. 
We should say right off this is a connoisseur’s Moss Rose—not for those 
of you who are expecting the big, lush pink blcoms of old-time gardens. 
The flowers are single, about 1¥%2 inches, 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. le 
GOLDEN MOSS. (1930.) 5-6 feet. 
We have done much by bud selection in the last few years to increase 
and hurry flowering, but let no-one order Golden Moss with visions of 
hundreds of butter-colored blossoms the first season, for surely you will 
be writing us a dour letter. Peg down the long canes, or prune to force 
short flower growth as described in the Moss Introduction, add a pinch 
of patience, and you will be well rewarded. Under some shade, the color 
comes a pretty true yellow, but mostly in strong full sun, there is a pinkish 
tone to the golden. 
This is a beautiful rose which should be in every old-fashioned collect- 
ion, but it must be wooed and won. 3 for 5.25: each 2.00 
JEANNE DE MONTFORT. (1851.) 5-6 feet. 
The favorite Moss Rose of the late Lambertus Bobbink who devoted a long 
life to his love for old roses. Exceptional for its vigor and lush foliage. 
Heavily mossed buds, with big sepals, open to large, many-petalled 
blooms of an unusual deep rose, just brushed with chestnut-brown... 
very fragrant. Long spring blossoming season. 
“Only one year in my garden and over 50 flowers in bloom at the same time—a 
gorgeous sight!” Mrs. V. B. McMillin, Canon City, Colorado.
