'Alisoun Francis' rose References
Book (1951) Page(s) 52. Dr. R. S. Rodney Francis. Breeding New Roses. I am experimenting with Crimson Glory on the following lines: Some years ago I crossed Earl Haig with Crimson Glory. The best seedling was the one I call Leila Francis and I crossed this with The Doctor. The best seedling was one I call (appropriately) Alisoun Francis. It has Doctor growth, colour one shade deeper than Poinsettia, but with same general effect and a pleasant fruity perfume.
