Mr. W. Beattie. Worth While Varieties. For the last few years my Roses have been rather neglected, and as a result some have deteriorated, while others have kept going very nicely. In this latter class I have been very favourably impressed by two varieties this season. The first is ‘Lubra’ and I feel quite guilty in not discovering it sooner. Possessing a rich, glowing red colour, healthy growth, long erect stems, and a very pretty bloom, it is worth a place in any garden.

p123 Mr. S. J. Bisdee. Tasmanian Rose Notes. ‘Lubra’ picked up well this year and, though blooms are somewhat small, it is most beautiful and fragrant. A really fine dark red.

p124 Mr. Frank Mason, Feilding, NZ. The Newer Roses in New Zealand. One Rose I consider an advance is Mrs. Fitzharding’s ‘Lubra’. This is not a large bloom, but is beautifully shaped and carried on nice long stems which make it an ideal decorative Rose. It is a dark red in colour and has a good scent.

p112 Mr. Frank Penn, Auckland, NZ. Some of the Newer sorts. ‘Lubra’ raised in Australia, is a rather small flower and the growth is spindly. A very pretty Rose. I hope for an improvement later on.

p133 Mr. John Poulsen, Christchurch, NZ. Canterbury Roses. ‘Lubra’ – Good growth and flowering freely. The first blooms were medium in size, but very shapely and had a delicious perfume; the colour was also good. Lately, under dry conditions, the colour has “blued” badly, even before the flowers are fully open. Apparently it requires good cultivation to give of its best.
