[Wilhelm] Kordes was especially impressed with 'Golden Glow', a yellow climber the Brownells introduced in 1937... Kordes praised its abundant golden flowers and its hardiness, even going so far as to say, "I think 'Golden Glow" is the Climber we have been expecting for long, long years." Like the Brownells, Kordes strove for cold-hardy roses. To create 'Goldbusch' he crossed 'Golden Glow' with a hybrid of the hardy species rose, R. eglanteria... Later, another cross between 'Golden Glow' and an R. eglanteria hybrid produced for Kordes a shrub rose that can easily be used as a climber, 'Alchymist', which is similar to 'Goldbusch' but has double flowers in shades of yellow and orange. 'Alchymist' was introduced in 1956...

Page 45: Great Western is a hybrid Bourbon created by Jules Laffay, one of the preeminent French rose hybridizers of the early nineteenth century. Laffay was attempting to breed the repeat-blooming characteristic of 'Celine', a now possibly extinct Bourbon with large pink flowers, into a much hardier European rose, probably a Gallica or a Centifolia. The mauve-red flowers, and their tendency to form a button eye at the center, lead one to suspect that the other parent was a Gallica. It is once-blooming.

Prickles: small and straight; very dense on new growth; originate immediately below the first leaf, nearly nonexistent on older wood. Foliage: light green; rounded; 3, 5 or 7 leaflets.

'Ivy Alice' a sport of 'Excelsa' introduced in 1927, is a very vigorous climber that is exactly like 'Excelsa' except for the blush pink color of its huge clusters of flowers. These double, cupped, antique-looking blooms, which have a slight fragrance, come on long stems and are good for cutting. When 'Excelsa' and 'Ivy Alice' are planted together, their flowers harmonize beautifully; if the canes are intermingled, the flowers all appear to come from the same plant. 'Ivy Alice' sometimes sports back to 'Excelsa'. When this happens, sections of its soft-pink petals are dramatically stained with red."
