The Garden, 72: 465 (September 26, 1908)
Iceberg.—A very interesting cross between wichuraiana and a Tea (I believe Niphetos), with the foliage of the wichuraiana and habit of growth of a good bedding Tea, the first of a new race that has great possibilities; raised by Messrs. Paul and Son of Cheshunt. The flower is a pure white, small, but perfectly formed; perpetual in character. One felt that some award other than a card of commendation was merited. Might it not be possible to have three grades of medals for these seedling Roses—a gold, a silver-gilt and a silver medal? As I have remarked, here was a new break, very interesting, a perfect Rose in its way that a card of commendation hardly did justice to. Messrs. Paul and Son are to be congratulated on striking another fresh line. Rose growers will always remember with gratitude that to them we owe the first Hybrid Tea. What is to be the name of the class of this fresh break I wonder? Awarded a card of commendation.
