Roses in the Landscape Plan
Herbert C. Swim
The first truly remontant Pillar roses that we know anything about were produced by the late Captain George C. Thomas, Jr. One of these, the rose carrying Captain Thomas' name, originated from a cross of Bloomfield Completeness x Attraction. We do not know too much about the origin of Bloomfield Completeness for the record has nothing to say about it. It was a small, single, pink-and-yellow-flowered climber. Attraction was a brilliant yellow Hybrid Pernetiana produced by Alexander Dickson. The result of this cross was a single pale pink-and-yellow-flowered Pillar rose producing continuous bloom and possessing remarkable resistance to mildew.

The raiser, Victor Reiter, Sr., is putting out another called "Improved Dr. Gallwey." If it is better than this current issue it truly must be good.

Roses in the Landscape Plan
Herbert C. Swim
Dr. Lammerts is also connected with another "break," as it is called in the language of rose breeders. His unusual cross of Mrs. Dudley Fulton, the evergreen shrub rose, and Tom Thumb, the red-flowered miniature, produced China Doll. This offspring is intermediate between its parents in many respects such as color, habit, size of growth, and bud shape. It carries the handsome foliage of Mrs. Dudley Fulton and its ability to produce frequent and heavy bursts of bloom several times throughout the growing season. As a result of selfing China Doll, the writer was able to produce Pinkie, currently being recommended by All-America Rose Selections as a Floribunda type rose. Because of the abandon with which both Pinkie and its parent produce flowers, they are no doubt the forerunners of another new series-type in bedding roses. Such roses should be found both novel and more practical than annuals or perennials for creating desired color masses in the landscape scheme, and there seems to be no reason why these two roses may not be more or less duplicated in a wide range of colors.
