Article (newspaper) (3 Nov 1928) Page(s) 13. THE ROSARY. By Dog Rose Edgar M. Burnett is such a poor, dirty pink at this time of the year that I do not think it is worth growing. You certainly get some good flowers in the autumn, but this does not justify growing it.

Book (1928) Herbert Oppenheimer. The Timing of Roses Under Glass. p79-1. That fine Exhibition Rose, William Shean, which is one of the largest and fullest roses grown, develops from an invisible bud to a full bloom quicker than most other roses - the interval in 1927 in my greenhouse was 25 days, and in 1926, 26 days. Edgar M Burnett, a rose of somewhat similar type took nearly 40 days.
p79-3. The following varieties belong to the class in which the interval between the appearance of the bud and the development of the full bloom is a long one:- Edgar M. Burnett, Dean Hole, Lord Allenby, Edel, Mrs Charles Russell, Mrs. George Marriott, Nellie Parker, Rev.Page Roberts.
p79-7. The time taken between the date when the rose is started - not in heat but in very moderate warmth - and the date when the flower bud becomes visible, also varies considerably; e.g. Edgar M. Burnett which takes such a long time to unfold its bloom, occupied less time than most roses in first showing the bud. Both in 1926 and 1927 that interval was less than a month.
