The Rose in Britain (3rd ed.)
(1953) Page(s) 121. 'Easlea’s Golden Rambler'. Wich. rambler. Large, double, golden yellow flowers, with red splashes, colour holding well. Very fragrant. Abundant, olive green foliage, which contrasts perfectly with the flowers. Very thorny. England: Easlea, 1932.
(1951) Page(s) 122. ‘Elizabeth of York’ – HT. a vivid cerise-pink, quite distinct. Fairly full blooms which are apt to pale in hot sun. Exceptionally free flowering and very vigorous. Good on light soils. Scotland. Dobbie, 1927.
(1953) Includes photo(s). p63 In a very damp climate Fashion may also prove susceptible [to rust]
p76 …while Fashion has a marked wild Rose fragrance.
p77 Fashion [included in a list of fragrant hybrid Polyanthas]
p82. colour picture
p84 Most hybrid polyanthas last well when cut. I find the following excellent….. Fashion is good, though best cut when the buds are well advanced.
p98 Hybrid Polyanthas: Fashion. Salmon peach.
p99 Roses for Standards: Fashion (Hyb. Poly). Salmon peach
p101 Roses for buttonholes. Fashion (Hyb. Poly). Salmon peach
p125 Fashion. Hyb. Poly. (Pinocchio x Crimson Glory). This is not only a remarkable hybrid polyantha but one of the most beautiful of all Roses. Though we have been unlucky in this country with many of the American varieties, this newcomer is a Rose for everybody. The colour is a warm salmon-peach, quite distinct, and so far as I know, not found in any other Rose – considerable technical difficulties were encountered before the right colours were achieved for reproduction in this book. It shows little tendency to fade in hot weather. Very free flowering from June until late autumn. Wild Rose fragrance. Ample glossy green foliage. Every Rose has its faults and I hope I shall not be accused of being captious if I say that the open flower is of poor form and sometimes drops its petals quickly. Fashion is best cut when the buds are well advanced. A climbing sport has been registered. USA Boerner, 1947.
(1952) Page(s) 138. LADY TRENT—H.T. (Rosiériste Gaston Lévêque x Federico Casas) Coppery orange blooms with large thick petals, colour holding well both in the open and indoors.
(1953) Page(s) 139. Léontine Gervais. Wich rambler. (R. wichuraiana x Souvenir de Catherine Guillot). One of the first ramblers to bloom, this is a most beautiful variety, though perhaps not quite as free as the Dorothy Perkins group. The salmon-rose tinted yellow blooms are fairly fragrant, and enhanced by dark green, glossy foliage, which is disease resistant. France, Barbier, 1903.
(1953) Page(s) 146. ‘Mme. Cochet-Cochet’ HT (‘Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont x Cécile Walter). One of my favourite pinks, though it never seems to have won general approval in this country. In the 1950 Annual of the National Rose Society, the well-known nurseryman, Mr. Walter Tucker, at last calls attention to its merits. The semi-double coppery pink blooms are freely borne on a somewhat tall-growing plant and make superb cut-flower material. It is a pity the flower has comparatively few petals and I cannot detect the honey-like fragrance attributed by some enthusiasts. None the less, it is outstanding. France: Mallerin, 1934.
(1953) Page(s) 147. ‘Mme. Jules Bouche’ HT. (‘Pharisaer’ x unknown seedling). Creamy-white with a blush centre. Rather small blooms liable to ball in wet weather, but very freely produced. France; Croibier, 1911.
(1953) Page(s) 145. Minnehaha. Wich Rambler (R. wichuraiana x Paul Neyron). similar in growth and foliage to Dorothy Perkins, but the trusses of bloom are longer and more upright. The flowers, though rather smaller, are a much deeper pink. USA. Walsh 1905.
(1953) p74 The new American hybrid tea ‘Mirandy’ has been described as damask scented and as having an aroma of caramel toffee. I am inclined to the sweetmeat comparison, but there is more to come! One writer compares its fragrance to ‘Charlotte Armstrong’, which is scentless to me, so where are you?
p75 ….Various writers have applied these terms as follows: Caramel toffee: Mirandy’.
p146 ‘Mirandy’ – HT. (‘Night’ x ‘Charlotte Armstrong’) This seems a variety for the connoisseur. The very large flowers are of exhibition quality and garnet-red in colour, which may limit its appeal. They seem to blue badly even in wet weather, which must be accounted a serious drawback. As stated in the chapter on ‘The Fragrance of Roses’, I subscribe to the American comparison with caramel toffee! USA: Lammerts, 1945.
(1953) Page(s) 158. ‘Rubaiyat’. HT. Deep red, perhaps best described as cerise. Free flowering, richly scented and an extra vigorous grower, even on dry land. Ireland. McGredy, 1948
