One star before a name indicates a variety recommended for general planting. Two stars indicate long-established roses which I have grown successfully.

Pemberton's Roses
A[...] class tending to be hardy, everblooming climbers, originated in England by the Rev. Joseph Pemberton. These are hybrids of Rosa moschata, the Musk Rose, whereas the Lambertianas are Hybrid Multifloras. Captain Thomas’ Roses offered below are similar, partaking of elements from both classes, combined with original traits. These Roses are $1 each for strong, field-grown plants
Pax. Hybrid Musk. (1918.) Large, creamy buds of lovely form, and broad, white flowers of much charm; very fragrant. Blooms steadily through the summer.
A good pillar Rose, likely to freeze in severe winters, but will renew itself from the ground.

An entirely new group of Hybrid Musk Roses has been introduced by the late Mr. Pemberton. They form useful flowering shrubs, and should be treated similarly to these. He gave us Danae and Moonlight in 1913, Pax in 1918, and Vanity 1921.

They will never be seen at their best if you prune them; cutting back disheatens them. As an instance of this the following extract from a letter from a Cork correspondent to a grower with whom one is acquainted may be of interest. The writer states: "I got one 'Pax' from you two years ago. It is now the loveliest sight, through surrounded with barbed wire for nearly a year while soldiers were in possession.... I have just been out to measure it; there are four long new shoots - one is seven feet from base to tip of last flower, twenty blossoms in all stages and an equal number of small buds. A thing of extraordinary beauty. It was hard to drag myself away from it." In substance the grower's reply was, "Madam - the success of your 'Pax' is in no small degree attributable to the fact that it was 'surrounded with barbed wire'."
