Margot Anstiss: This is a very pleasing pink rose, somewhat similar to Mrs. A. R. Barraclough.

Margot Anstiss (4 plants, 1 year). Large heavy specimen blooms made up of thin papery petals that will not open. This is disappointing as it is a lovely soft pale pink with even colouring throughout - a colour we need. Free blooming: Low growing but vigorous. It may be a very good rose in a better climate.

Margot Anstis  The best way to describe this rose is to say an improved Leading Lady. It is beautiful from the bud stage until fully open.

Novelty Roses 1949. Margot Anstiss (HT. Harkness 1947) A very lovely variety, deserving high marks for novelty. Very large flowers of rich satin pink of an unusual shade, but the petals are rather thin and will probably ball in wet weather. The parentage is said to be 'F. K. Druschki' x 'The Doctor'.  5/- each.
