1947 American Rose Annual
p227. Proof of the Pudding. Mrs. Miniver HT. Scarlet-crimson (C. Chambard '42; int. U.S. J&P '42). Pat 725. ARA '43; PP '44-'46.
Calif. Newman (4-1, B) Spring blooms are worth any amount of trouble; members of Calif. Hort. Society still talking of blooms shown there In May; does mildew.
Conn. Piester (5-4; 20-3, C) One of most striking colors; average, but open plants.
Ill. Pfister (1-3 C) Continue to like this one.
Mass. Burt (2-2, B) Nice red with serrated edge.
Foote (2-2, C) Short growth, not free here; attractive when it blooms.
Greenlaw (1-2, C) Disappointing; weak color for a red; sparse bloomer.
Mich. Bath (3-2 D) Has not made any growth; two blooms in June; will try in new location.
Minn. Wilcox. Vigorous, spreading plant; hardy; many glowing red blooms with fringed petals.
N. J. Read (3-2, A) Continues to be a fine rose in every way; little blackspot; no mildew; wish I had more.
N. Y. MacAndrews (2-3, C) An unusual shade of scarlet. Flowers large, loose, semi-double; crinkled petals. A garden rose of medium growth.

Hodgman (3-2, A). Satisfactory in growth and hardiness, with brilliant flowers having notably large, upstanding petals.
Sloan (1-2 B) Has improved this year; fair amount of good red roses.
Ore. Edmunds(1-4 B) Sensational in spring with large, loose, intensely scarlet blooms but poor grower that mildews quite early in season.
S. C. Raysor (1-1, B) In color, one of the most beautiful; blooms consistently; healthy plant, but weak stems.
Utah. Barnes (1-4, C) Crinkled, scarlet-crimson petals that flop.
Shields (2-3, B) A real brilliant red with scalloped edges; performs better each year; no two blooms exactly alike.
Wash. Robinson (3-3, A) Greatest red rose of all time. Not a heavy grower, but would not be without these bushes. Geranium-red blooms. NR 7.1
