p69. April 1, 1919: Mr. Frank Fairey [writing under the pen-name of ‘Greenleaf’]: Borderer. This is one of the most charming dwarf polyantha Roses we have ever seen. During the last year we have grown six plants and have proved the very high recommendations given it well founded. It is the most desirable Rose for a dwarf border that we have ever seen. It bears large quantities of double flowers, which are a rich blending of pink, copper, and amber. Some of the charming buds have been almost the colour of Lyon Rose, and for floral work and buttonholes it is a delightful Rose. It has flowered freely from October right throughout the summer, and promises a finer crop of flowers than ever during April. Even in the hottest of weather the blooms never have a faded appearance, and the foliage is particularly good and clean. If a dwarf border of Roses is coveted, it will be difficult to find anything more suitable.

p94. June 1, 1919. Mr. Frank Fairey [writing under the pen-name of ‘Greenleaf’]: Many beautiful Roses were in evidence until the end of May. ….and Borderer also produced splendid, clear-coloured little flowers.

Borderer – We have been particularly struck with the beauty of this little dwarf-growing Rose during the last few weeks. It flowers very freely throughout the whole year, and its dwarf habit, combined with good foliage, makes it very valuable to the gardener where a dwarf hedge is required. It produces beautiful buds varying in colour according to the weather; sometimes being pink and at others having almost the colour of Lyon Rose. In addition to this it has a distinct sweet briar perfume. Where a dwarf Rose is required there are very few Roses to equal this for quantity of blossoms.

The little dwarf variety, Borderer, stood the heat remarkably well. The blooms did not last very well, but every morning fresh blooms were out, which were delightful in colour. The perfume of this Rose is very delightful, as it has a strong sweetbrier scent, more so than any Rose we know of. We think that this Rose will become in time one of the most popular of all the dwarf Roses. It is more dwarf in habit than any Rose we know of, rarely growing more than nine inches to one foot high. It also has the advantage of flowering continuously through practically the whole of the year.

Among the climbers a most striking variety was Countess of Stradbroke, a rose raised by Mr. Alister Clark, which was issued about two years ago. It is a good grower, the flowers are beautifully formed, being quite up to exhibition standard, and the colour is remarkably good. Although not such a strong grower as Black Boy, this rose will be a most delightful variety for planting against fences and on tripods.
