Website/Catalog (1929) Page(s) 25. Everblooming Roses The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals. Mrs. Ambrose Ricardo. Hybrid Tea. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) Very large, full blooms of pale pink and light yellow, of firm, incurved form, and some fragrance. The plant is usually very strong, exceedingly floriferous, but not entirely resistant to disease. One of the finest and very largest of all Roses. Its enormous blooms improve in color and texture and keep for days after being cut. Its growth is often a little erratic and its foliage needs protection. Not a Rose of long life but so distinct that it is worth planting every year.

Magazine (Mar 1922) Page(s) 20. "New Roses for the Garden" by Charles E. F. Gersdorff 'Blends' is the term which for convenience I give to new color combinations that have appeared in our Hybrid-teas in recent years. Some beautiful and fascinating colorings have been obtained and such blooms are truly the aristocrats of the garden. [...] England, Ireland, and America have not been backward in competition with France, in the production of these beautiful Blends. [...] Large flowers, of good form, fragrant, and freely borne on strong vigorous plants characterize Mrs. Ambrose Riccardo (McGredy, 1914) a blending of flesh pink and deep yellow.
