Everblooming Hybrid Remontant Roses
The only other sport of this exclusive family is the Queen of Edgley, or Pink American Beauty. In 1897, in a house devoted to American Beauties by the Floral Exchange Company of Philadelphia, at Edgley, Pennsylvania, fortune unexpectedly came to the rose growers in the form of an American Beauty, except in a distinct shade of pink, without a tinge of red. It was entered and won the Gold Medal at the Rose Show. The name of Queen of Edgley was conferred on it, but Pink American Beauty is the name by which it is best known. The colour is lighter than Caroline Testout, and deeper than La France. During the flush of its brief beauty, it fills an honoured position among the roses of winter and in out-door gardens in springtime, is a rose of imperial beauty.

"The Queen of Flowers" By Edwin Lonsdale
The new Queen of Edgely is becoming more popular every year, and as it is the equal of American Beauty in every respect and identical with it excepting in color, it is only natural that it is likely to increase in popularity as time goes on. While “Beauty” is cerise in color, "Edgely” is a much more delicate shade of pink, and for that reason would be given the preference with some purchasers, appealing more strongly to some tastes on account of its beautiful light pink color.
The Queen of Edgely is an offspring of American Beauty- not a seedling, but a "sport.” A sport means in this connection that a branch of an American Beauty plant produced flowers different from the original. Cuttings or slips were made from said branch and rooted, and the result is plants of what are now known as the Queen of Edgely. American Belle is also a sport from the same source, namely, the “Beauty,” and the color of the flower is quite similar to the “Edgely,” but it is not so strong a grower, consequently not so easy to manage as either of the others mentioned, and it is also distinct in its foliage, being more narrow and pointed, showing that sports are not confined in their variations to the color of the bloom alone.
