Mr. W. Beattie.  Vic.  Useful Decorative Varieties. 
Fred Walker has done better this season than ever before, and has become quite worthwhile.  A slight tendency to weak stems seems to be its main fault.

Fred Walker (Hybrid Tea)... The buds are coral red, developing a lovely shade of glowing pink with coppery orange base. When fully open the flowers are soft old rose flushed with gold. The blooms are large, full, and of good shape. Foliage dark green; mildew-proof. The extraordinary freedom and habit of growth is a special feature of this Rose. Faint Tea perfumed. Introduced 1935.

Fred Walker.- Good growth and flowering freely. This Rose has produced some good blooms of a very pleasing coral-salmon colour, and if the constitution proves hardy it will become popular.

p102.  Frank Mason, N.Z.  The Rose Season. 
In Fred Walker is a Rose of a good colour. McGredy says it is coral red, but there is a good deal of copper in the make-up.
It is quite a good grower, particularly for a Rose with these colours in it.

Fred Walker. Poor growth so far.

Fred Walker (McGredy) looks like a Pernetiana, with twenty large, pretty, coral pink petals. if it does not die back it should prove an acquisition.

p113.  Mr. Allen A. Brundrett.  The New Roses in Victoria. 
Fred Walker, H.T. (McGredy).-The raisers say that it is a new colour in Roses. I certainly know of no other Rose with a similar hue. I would describe is as a clear, luminous salmon-pink. The colour is most effective, and I think the most attractive seen for years. The blooms, which are perfectly formed, consist of from 20 to 30 petals. It is hardy, free branching and free flowering. The blooms are carried erect. It will be a very good garden Rose as well as producing useful exhibition specimens.
