p101.  S. R. Bird. Notes from Auckland
Rex Anderson gave much more promise as a light yellow exhibition and garden Rose. Had the weather improved in time I may have been able to say more in favour of this variety.

p118.  Mr C. W. Heers.  Roses in Queensland
Rex Anderson —The blooms are of good shape and fairly full, but the colour, which is a pale lemon yellow, so far has been very pale and inclined to fade. The growth is good, and if the colour brightens up it may yet retrieve itself.

p132.  Mr John Poulsen, NZ.  Canterbury Roses.
Rex Anderson.- Very strong growth; producing high pointed blooms of extra good shape. The colour is almost white at
times, but is a magnificent variety and may possibly supersede McGredy's Ivory.

p91.  R.Marion Hatton.  New Roses in America.
Of the European Roses which I have not seen mentioned in the "Annual," Rex Anderson, from McGredy, looks good to me. Our plants were not as good as most of McGredy's later varieties, but I liked the large shapely flowers, which opened pale cream and changed to milk white. I counted 40 petals and noted a fruit fragrance.

p114.  Allen Brundrett.  New Roses in Victoria.
Their variety Rex Anderson, H.T., was by far their best this season, and a very good Rose. The colour is lemon yellow; the petals are broad and of good substance, and the flowers are well formed, being promising for exhibition purposes. The growth seems to be remarkably hardy and vigorous.

R. Marion Hatton.  An American Opinion of the World's New Roses
From Ireland we have several of McGredy's, of which I prefer Rex Anderson, with five inch cream-coloured flowers carrying a fruity fragrance. It has good form and should be a good exhibition Rose.
