p163. 'Ena Harkness'. Large Flowered. With famous parents like Kordes's 'Crimson Glory' and McGredy's vivid scarlet 'Southport', it is no wonder that 'Ena Harkness' acquired such a glorious red color. The plant is of strong, upright growth, with leathery olive-green foliage, and the blooms high centred, fully double and oh how splendidly fragrant! The whole package was put together by the English amateur raiser Albert Norman (a diamond cutter by trade) and introduced in 1946 by the Harkness Company. Almost half a century later, and 'Ena Harkness' stil remains 'a crimson-scarlet standby' in a cool-climate rose garden, flowering freely all season. Feed it well, or the flower stalks will be weak. 'Crimson Glory' x 'Southport'. Repeat flowering. Fragrant.

p232 'Josephine Bruce'..... Some people claim that it is intensely fragrant;' others find its scent only slight. Perhaps, as happened with 'Ena Harkness'; there are two strains of 'Josephine Bruce'.
