Lady Mary Fitzwilliam  (HT). A very prominent breeding parent (1882), having influenced the majority of our present H.T.’s.  For a while the variety was thought to have been lost, but it was recently discovered and re-introduced by Mr. G. S. Thomas[*] of England.  The large globular blooms of rose pink are borne on a stout bush.  It is especially free flowering and fragrant.  3b. d. P.  [medium height, upright, double, one flowering follows another]

Mme. Abel Chatenay. (H.T.). Surely the oldest rose to have remained in popular demand 1895), the blooms are of ‘modern’ form with high centres and reflexing petals of shell pink with silver reverse, strongly tea-scented. The large open bush resents hard pruning, but is still an excellent rose by both old and modern standards. As a climber it is slow to develop, but eventually makes a large plant which blooms very freely. Climber or Bush – medium, spreading. Double, Perpetual.
