Mr. S. J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Notes
In the Rose section of the recent Chrysanthemum Show of the Hobart Horticultural Society, Mrs McGregor exhibited a very lovely yellow rose named Mrs W. Sprott, which she considers as good as Lady Mandeville. I can find it in no catalogue, but I understand it came from S Brundrett and Son. I hope this has not been dropped by nurserymen. It looks a really good thing.
Ed.  A coloured plate of Mrs W. Sprott appeared in the 1942 issue.

For Webster, Ont. (1 pl., 3 yr., Can.) one plant winter-killed; remaining plant has grown poorly; is inclined to agree with Patton that tea blood predominates. Robinson, Wash. (1 pl) complains that the only blooms worthwhile were those in June; growth poor.

John Poulsen, South Island Roses
Mrs. William Sprott. Good growth and foliage, flowering very freely. Nice bud colour - rich yellow - but in hot weather it fades far too quickly to be effective. We have better yellows.

The mildew-proof bronzy-green foliage is very attractive, and the stems have few thorns. The habit of the plant makes a first-class bedding Rose, while blooms suitable for exhibition are freely produced.
