Tausendschon, as Grown in Connecticut

Photograph by courtesy of A. N. Pierson, Incorporated JEAN GIRIN. Hybrid Wichuraiana. Description given by Admiral Ward, as grown on Long Island.

Absolutely hardy as a climber; almost the same as Dorothy Perkins, and in the fall has a second blooming period, when it gives approximately half the number of blooms produced in the spring. Foliage lasts quite well.

SILVER MOON. Said to be a cross between Rosa Wichuraiana X Cherokee. Extra large, single, silver white with golden yellow stamens, of remarkably strong growth; very distinct. Foliage lasts well.

TAUSENDSCHON. Hybrid Polyantha. Soft pink; large clusters; foliage lasts fairly well. Reported hardier in the North than the Hybrid Wichuraianas.

VEILCHENBLAU. Hybrid Polyantha. Schmidt, 1909. Lilac changing to amethyst and steel blue; medium size; produced in large clusters; lower foliage lost early.

The greatest development in climbers, if the catalogue descriptions may be relied upon, are the following new additions, brought may be relied upon, are the following new additions, brought out in 1913-14-15, but not yet thoroughly tested:

LE MEXIQUE, Wichuraiana; introduced by Schwartz in 1913, color "pale silvery rose; clusters"; has been tested in this country and one grower claims that it gives scattering blooms until fall. MOONLIGHT AND DANE, introduced by Reverend J. H. Pemberton in 1914, are listed as Hybrid Teas and catalogued as continual bloomers from June until autumn. The growth is similar to a Wichuraiana, but less vigorous; they bloom in clusters, and both give scattering blooms through the entire season, the last one being noted in November. Moonlight flowers on new wood; Danæ on that of the previous year.

In 1914 Pemberton introduced three other Ramblers, for all of which perpetual blooming is claimed. Their blooms in the first year are scattering; the growth is only fair; and they require winter protection.
