Website/Catalog (1931) Page(s) 39. Includes photo(s). New Climbing Roses Bloomfield Quakeress. (Capt. George C. Thomas, 1930.) Here is a splendid, new, everblooming climber, one of the finest products of that eminent rose hybridizer, Capt. George C. Thomas. Introduced by us this season for the first time. We have observed it for several years and we are greatly impressed with the great beauty of the flower and foliage, and particularly with its fine, everblooming habit, which is not found in any other climber of its type. The flowers are soft light yellow, semi-double, with long stems and attractive little buds, and they are borne all through the spring, summer and fall. The plant is a very strong grower, and the clean-looking, light green foliage is more attractive than any other climber that we grow. We are not sure about its hardiness, but for the Pacific Coast, and probably for the Southern States, it will be a remarkably fine acquisition. $1.50 each.
