Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Crusader. Hybrid Tea. (Montgomery Co., Inc., 1920.) A fine crimson Rose of massive form, with a firm, pointed center; almost scentless. Blooms borne singly on stiff stems; plant of moderate growth with splendid foliage.
Another florists’ Rose whose color blues badly in the garden. Fine for cutting because of its strong stems and lasting quality. In the fall, the flowers are perfect and the color does not fade as in midsummer.

Wilhelm Kordes: Critical Rose Observations from Germany.
Of the later sorts we had large quantities of 'Crusader', a rose with some good and some bad qualities. The first blooms were mostly fine, but the stalks not strong enough to bear the large, heavy blooms, though these had a good color. Later blooms had bad color and some even came more blue than red.
