Mrs. H. R. Darlington. Roses for Hedges.
Two of Mr. Pemberton's Hybrid Musks, the yellow 'Danae' and the gleaming white Moonlight are quite suitable for hedges about five feet high. 'Moonlight' is specially good on account of the strong rods of dark red wood clothed with dark foliage which it throws up from the base and the lasting qualities of its great panicles of bloom.

Rev. J. H. Pemberton. The Adaptability Of The Rose.
Moonlight is generally considered a leading sort; colour lemon white with beautiful golden stamens. To see it at its best it should be cut in the bud state a day or two before it is required for decoration and allowed to open out in water. If wanted for Christmas Day' cut four days before, cut it on St.Thomas' Day. The wood is claret colour and the foliage dark green, the leaves remaining on the plant until the new spring growth begins to push. By reason of this retention of foliage it is valuable as a hedge.

The same raiser has also given us 'Danae', soft yellow; Moonlight, lemon white; 'Callisto' pale yellow; and 'Clytemnestra', salmon yellow; all semi-double flowers borne in large clusters and suitable for small pillars.

p148. Walter Easlea. Some New and Little Known Climbing and Rambler Roses.
The Rev. J. H. Pemberton's 'Clytemnestra' is a very pretty Rose, and is more vigorous than 'Danae' or 'Moonlight', both of which with me make big bushes.

A Hedge of Rose 'Moonlight'.    (By  kind permission of The Garden)
 "If  any of  your readers  should  be thinking  of making  a  Rose hedge of, say, four  feet to five feet high this Autumn,  I  can  strongly recommend    the   Hybrid   Musk  Moonlight.   I planted  a few plants last Autumn  against a low fence, and  they have  all made very  good   growth indeed, and   flowered  continuously  throughout  the summer,   in large clusters of most attractive and dainty  blooms  of silvery white colour about the size of half-a-crown.   At the present moment   there is on one plant a  single spray  with over .eighty blooms or   buds just coming  out, and the effect is charming.   As a companion to  Moonlight  the  Hybrid  Musk   Danae  makes  a contrast with its soft  yellow  blooms,  and this also flowers  throughout the  year.  What  more could  one expect  from any  Rose? 
 With  me  both  appear mildew  proof.".—G. S. M.  in The  Garden, Nov.  3rd, 1917

Moonlight, Climbing Hybrid Tea; J.H. Pemberton. Single, clusters; catalogued as white, flushed lemon; in this country, pure white.

Moonlight and Danae, introduced by Reverend J. H. Pemberton in 1914, are listed as Hybrid teas and catalogued as continual bloomers from June until autumn. We are testing both of these; the growth is similar to a Wichuraiana, but less vigorous; they bloom in clusters. Danae, "yellow," has not flowered; Moonlight, pure white; single has given scattering blooms throughout the entire season, the last one being noted in November. A one year's test is, of course, not conclusive as to the value of these varieties.
This year Pemberton is introducing three other ramblers, for all of which perpetual blooming is claimed.
