(15 Aug 1907) Page(s) 15(1416): 163. Clibrans' White This is one of the hardiest, as well as dwarfest, of new h.p. garden Roses. A plant in my Middlesex garden is not more than 8 1/2 in high, and at the tallest has never exceeded 1ft; but it has plenty of shining leafage, and sends up large white spreading flowers of good shape. All of the first crop of blossoms were perfectly white, and much resembled those of Frau Karl Druschki, but a few of the later ones became prettily suffused at the tips of the petals with purplish-carmine—very lovely and distinct. As a dwarf and reliable edging Rose, this can be recommended. It ought also to be useful as a pot Rose. Messrs. Clibrans, of Altrincham, are the raisers, and I saw it there last year for the first time. The flowers first opened about the second week of July. The growths are spiny.—S.E.
The introducers, in their Rose catalogue, say:—"This variety has been on trial in our nurseries for some years. Every season, whatever the weather may have been, it has invariably grown well and flowered abundantly. For garden decoration and decorative use generally it has proved itself to be indispensable.

Kathleen (Multiflora rambler), with very large pyramidal trusses of single flowers, rich carmine-rose with well-defined white eye. exceedingly attractive; produced in great profusion and lasting a long time in good condition on the plant; of strong rambling growth with good foliage; excellent for forcing and pot culture, as well as for outdoor decoration.

Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham, occupied the end of one tent with a fine exhibit of Rambler Roses trained in all shapes, some had stems 6ft to 8ft high, while others were but 12in.

(9 Mar 1907) Page(s) 293. Vol 5.. 'Little Dot': This pretty little hardy rose is one of Jackson Dawson’s hybrids, Rosa multiflora x Clotilde Soupert. The flowers are flesh color and very profuse, in fact too much so, for Mr. Dawson tells us that it blooms so incessantly that he could never find wood enough from which to propagate it in sufficient quantities to give it any wide distribution. It received honorable mention from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society when exhibited.
