There are also the Lemoine varieties grown from seed of Jouiniana, called Campanile, Oiseau Bleu, and Cote d'Azur, but these have reverted to the non- climbing character of C. Davidiana, and so belong in a quite different category from the superb climber

...name to a Monsieur Jouin, manager of the Simon-Louis Nursery at Metz. But the exact place and time of its origin or introduction are shrouded in mystery. Monsieur E. Lemoine of Nancy informs me that he obtained the first plants from Henri Correvon of Geneva under the name of "jardin alpin" about 1909, but Monsieur Correvon writes that he obtained his plants from Vilmorin who in turn had obtained them from Lemoine, and that it was universally regarded as
Though this plant has been grown for a long time in the Arnold Arboretum and in two or three other collections, I have seen no reference to it in popular garden literature on this side of the Atlantic under its right name. It is passed over in silence in the interesting chapter on clematis in E.H. Wilson's More Aristocrats of the Garden. Some fifteen years ago, however, a New England florist introduced a hybrid which he called C. Ina Dwyer, and which he informs me he originally discovered on his own place. This is obviously a

 I have noted an occasional article in The National Horticultural Magazine regarding Rosa mutabilis. I have grown this rose in Fresno, California, for some ten years. Here, it commences to bloom several weeks in advance of any other species...

The History of the Pleas Peonies
By Sarah A. Pleas, H. F. N. H. S.
I noticed little seedlings near the Queen, but these were merely tolerated much as volunteer perennials are, until they must give way to better plants.  Some of these chance seedlings came up among rose bushes and other larger plants where they escaped the hoe.  These slowly gained in size, but with the garden full of really beautiful things they were of no particular interest to me for the time being.  While strolling leisurely adown the walk with little Nellie, a bloom half-concealed was seen among the bushes.  My surprise and delight were so manifest that Nellie, with the winsome assurance of the household pet, exultantly reached out her dimpled hand, gleefully exclaiming, "Nellie's pitty flower", thus unconsciously christening, whilst receiving it, the Nellie Pleas.  By whatever synonyms it may be burdened with hereafter, it will be known in my home only as Nellie Pleas.  When removed to a bed cut in the sod on the lawn, it developed the largest blooms borne in the largest clusters I have ever known.  The first division was sold to J. T. Lovett for $25.00 with exclusive right to sell it. [...]
Nellie Pleas and her royal sisters appeared on the scene many years before I began to plant seeds.  The Queen should be considered the mother of these, as well as the later originations.

[From "Double Forms of our Wild Roses", by Stephen F. Hamblin]
A different plant, with semi-double red flowers on a plant like the wild Prickly rose, but clustered, is Pike's Peak, from pollen of Hollywood, HT., on the wild plant. This was produced by N. C. Gunter, and put in the trade by Bobbink & Atkins in 1940. It is a very pleasing "half-wild" rose, very vigorous and hardy.
