From Wills cigarette cards, Roses – a series of 40 cards. Issued in 1936. No 11. EMMA WRIGHT (Hybrid Tea) Introduced 1917 Pure orange, shaded at edge of petals. The blooms are rather small and thin, but they retain their colour over a long period. In the bud they are delightful. It is a most charming Rose for decorative purposes and, if cut very young, the blooms will open in water, retaining their colour for several days. The habit of growth is moderate, but that defect may be overcome by planting closely, say fifteen inches apart. Fragrant. The foliage is a bright green, which makes a lovely contrast. It requires moderate pruning to four eyes the last week in March. Free of disease, it is one of the most charming bedding varieties we have. Awarded a Gold Medal of the National Rose Society.
