Magazine (9 Jun 1900) Page(s) 415. Mildew-proof Roses. It must be admitted that attacks of this troublesome fungus are, more or less, influenced by temperature and culture, but yet there are some few kinds that resist the disease, no matter how changeable the weather or how erratic the culture. Such an one is Mrs. George Dickson, a Hybrid Perpetual, raised by the late Mr. H. Bennett. This grower also introduced Her Majesty, another splendid variety. Now what are the conditions essential to a mildew-proof Rose? Taking the variety Mrs. G. Dickson as our type, we find it possesses very firm foliage, not very thick, but rather inclined to be glossy, and entirely free from the beginning from that thin tender state common to most of the Roses now grown. Mrs. G. Dickson has produced a sport named Mrs. Rumsey. This variety is equally exempt from mildew as its parent.
