Baltimore Belle (Feast 1843). The only [hybrid setigera] one still carried in European catalogues. A cluster flowering climber of considerable size, to 20 feet. Blooms are pale blush and flesh, and up to 3 inches across. the general appearance is rough and rustic.

Coquette des Alpes (Lacharme, 1867) (See plate XI). Derived from the same cross as Boule de Neige, this has much the same feeling. Flowers are very double, and open to blush pink from reddish buds. The bloom has all the beauty of the earlier Damasks, and repeats profusely. The plant is thorny and tall to 7 feet. A magnificently fragrant rose.

Félicité et Perpétue (Jacques, 1827). Probably the best of the hybrids [of R. sempervirens], a very vigorous climber with nearly evergreen foliage. Blooms are smallish, cream to white, and are carried in large clusters. This sort of rose has been replaced in modern gardens by Wichuraiana hybrids. This is still available in Europe, and where a once-blooming climber of this type is desired, it is hard to beat.

Hybrid Chinas and Bourbons...Gruss an Teplitz (Lambert, 1897). There is sure to be an argument about this rose in this classification, and yet I feel that this is where it belongs. A complex hybrid of China, Bourbon, tea, and others, it has more claim to membership here than in any other class. It is still very much with us, and has many uses in the garden. Blooms are quite double, deep smoky carmine, and exquisitely fragrant. The plant is a strong grower to 6 feet or more, and a constant producer of charming medium-sized clusters. Not much use for cutting, since the stems are weak, but a delightful decoration for the garden.

Jeanne de Montford (Robert, 1851). One of the tallest Mosses, and fine for pillar or fence use, as it reaches 10 feet in a few years. This shows Damask influence in the extreme, for moss and wood have the typical brown coloring. Blooms are moderately double, clear, light pink of rare charm fading to near white. They are borne in groups of three. Good fragrance, and this has produced late blooms in damp season.

Mousseline, Alfred de Dalmas (1855). The two names are interchangeable and the same plant is supplied under either. This is the best repeater among all Hybrid Mosses, but it has little moss and what there is is of Damask type, prickly and green. Moss or not, this has great charm. A dwarf but willing plant, it blooms for me as well as any Floribunda. The plant is bushy, with long oval leaves, sharply pointed. Blooms are small, blush-pink, with little fragrance. Rarely without bloom, this has a perky charm.

Reine des Violettes (Mille-Mallet, 1860). Usually classed as a Hybrid Perpetual, in my opinion this rose more logically belongs here [hybrid chinas and bourbons]. It makes a very tall plant, to 8 feet, and the canes are smooth and thornless. Blooms are of medium size, very double, very fragrant, and open lilac-red, deepening with maturity to deep violet approaching blue in cool weather. ...It is a good repeater, and can be grown as a fence climber when not kept cut back. It can be controlled by pruning, and kep at 5 feet...
