'Josephine Bruce'. Large-flowered. Introduced as long ago as 1949, and often criticised for its sprawling growth and fondness for mildew, 'Josephine Bruce' is still much admired. The attraction is the color of the flowers: few red roses are so deep and velvety. There are only twenty-four petals, but they make up a big high-centred flower lhat opens slowly. Foliage is a dark olive-green. Some people claim that it is intensely fragrant;' others find its scent only slight. Perhaps, as happened with 'Ena Harkness'; there are two strains of 'Josephine Bruce'. The raisers were Bees of Chester in the United Kingdom. 'Crimson Glory x 'Madge Whipp' or 'Jane Thornton'.

'Crimson Glory', 'Ena Harkness', 'Josephine Bruce - the defects in growth and disease resistance of all three are too well known to need repeating. I still grow the first two because they have always done well for me and give me some lovely blooms.
