Mr. Allen A. Brundrett.  The New Importations of 1940
Crown of Jewels (Howard and Smith, U.S.A.) is really a Polyantha x garden type, favouring the latter, and should make a good bedder, having four-inch blooms of 40 petals produced singly on very numerous, long, almost thornless stems. The colour is a light bright red.

R. Marion Hatton.  New Roses in America. 
The Polyantha family is becoming so much involved that a mere Rose lover cannot keep them straight. We have a couple of new Roses this year which seem to me to belong in the class with Gruss an Aachen... The other is Little Beauty (F. Howard), a cross of E. G. Hill and an unnamed seedling; the three-inch Camellia-shaped flowers have about 30 petals of unfading light red. The plants grow 18 inches to two feet tall and bloom freely.
