Good work, uploading all these.
Of course Lady Hillingdon can look like this, but it's amusing to see that once HTs had become the rage, illustrators chose photos that made Teas look like HTs.

How tastes change! The solitary high-centered orderly HT was maybe good for exhibiting, however the dishevelled, variable Tea blooms are much closer to nature

The same photo also appears as 'Mme. Segond Weber' in Heller's 1918 catalogue on page 22, so who knows what it really is.

It probably wasn't 'Mme Segond Weber' either! Heller Bros were bought out and taken over by another large nursery company (I can't remember which one - maybe Dingee's, but don't quote me on that), not that long after they introduced 'Jeanette Heller' but they kept the nursery name. After that time the incorrect re-use of rose photos becomes rather notorious. I imagine Heller's probably had little say in the graphics of their catalogues after that. I've seen one rose photo used for at least half a dozen different roses.
