Notes:
From J. H. Nicolas' patent application for 'Mrs. Francis King' Of this new strain referred to, the variety Leonard Barron was first to be disseminated, this being the first ever-blooming garden rose evolved from R. Nutkana of Alaska. Its genealogy is (R. Nutkana X Paul Neyron) X Souvenir de Mme. Boullet, a yellow hybrid tea, but due to the fact that it is nearly sterile as a female, it was not used as the seed bearer for the origination of the present variety. However, I found that the pollen of Leonard Barron is very potent and capable of reproducing its plant characters which I desired to breed into the new rose.
