It may be useful to include the following under references; it is from Dreer's Garden Calendar 1899
NEW CLIMBING MOSS ROSE, "Cumberland Belle." New Climbing Moss Rose, "Cumberland Belle '" We take pleasure in offering for the first time to the legion of lovers of the Queen of Flowers, this, the forerunner of anew race of Roses, a grand true climbing Moss Rose. It is of American origin, having been found growing in a private garden in the historic Cumberland Valley — a sport from that pretty Moss Rose Princess Adelaide, itself a strong vigorous grower which is wonderfully developed in the offspring, the original sport the first season having attained a height of over fifteen feet and had one hundred and eighteen buds and flowers on it at one time. The past season, planted side by side with Crimson Rambler and other rampant growers, it fully equaled them in vigor of growth. In color it is identical to the parent, a bright silvery rose, very double; the buds nicely mossed and exquisitely fragrant. Altogether a most unique and desirable acquisition. (See cut.) Young plants, 50 cts. each; 3 for $1.25; §5.00 per doz.

Many thanks for that old reference pkalisz. There is a tiny problem in loading references at the moment, but I have made myself a note to add this 1899 reference just as soon as the function is restored.
