"THE BEST NEW YELLOW CLIMBING ROSE •
MAID OF GOLD: (Raffel, 1936). Plant Patent No. 246. This Rose is a seedling of Climbing Golden Emblem and is almost like it in every way except that it holds the color with almost no fading until the last petal has fallen, and produces a great many more flowers. It has the same indescribably beautiful combination of yellow and red found in Golden Emblem that has won and held for years the love and admiration of all who love yellow Roses. We have watched this Rose through all stages of its development and we feel justified in saying that it is, without doubt, the best yellow climber in its class. The original plant during its third year produced over two hundred flowers in the spring and some at all times through the season until November. During October it produced over one hundred blooms. It has everything one could ask for in a climbing Rose—the flowers have form, color and fragrance. The plant grows freely, the foliage is good and the flowers are produced freely though the entire growing season. To see a large plant of this Rose in bloom is to fall in love with it. We do not hesitate to recommend it as the finest of all yellow hybrid tea climbing Roses.
