'Huron' rose References
Website/Catalog  (1949)  
 
"HURON AND IROQUOIS - mauve pink and blush white respectively, semi-double, rather insignificant flowers, profusely suckering. Valuable in parks where sheets of bloom and complete hardiness of plant are required rather than quality of flower."

Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses - ca 1949 p. 9
Book  (Jan 1946)  Page(s) 33.  
 
Huron. C.E.F. Ottawa. R. cinnamomea x spinosissima var. Pythagoras. A small compact shrub to two and a half feet tall. The pale pink flush on the semi-double white flowers is very attractive.
Book  (1946)  Page(s) 52.  
 
In "Progress in Breeding Hardy Roses," Isabella Preston says,

Huron and a sister seedling, Iroquois, are similar except in color. They sucker freely and grow about three feet tall. The foliage is healthy and hangs on until severe frost. The flowers are semi-double. In Huron, they are white except for a faint blush on first opening and are quite attractive.

Book  (1940)  Page(s) 92.  
 
In "Central Canadian Rose-Breeding" Isabella Preston says,

R. cinnamomea was crossed with a Scotch rose named Pythagoras, and two seedlings have been named: Huron (R.23.08.01) has semi-double white faintly flushed flowers; Iroquois (R.23.08.02) has semi-double pale amaranth-pink flowers.
