Dr. A. S. Thomas: Paul’s Lemon Pillar is almost a climbing counterpart of Sir Henry Segrave, one of the most reliable of all show roses. This climber blooms only in the spring, unfortunately. Sir Henry Segrave is a very healthy grower and blooms freely. One is too apt to think of it as a specimen bloom, alamost every bunch of roses that I cut from my garden includes at least two or three of these light yellows. Richard E. West is a little paler and has fewer petals.

Dr. A. S. Thomas: A Victorian Summary: Wheatcroft’s Cream (one plant, one year) has greatly impressed me with its perfectly formed primrose-coloured flowers. They could best be likened to an improvement on Richard E. West, or if that rose is too much out of date for the reader, to Sir Henry Segrave, but without the tendency to ball because the petals being a little less numerous but having more substance. Excellent growth.

Richard E. West. HT. (A. Dickson, 1924). Tells its own story in its picture as a very beautiful light yellow rose. It is also fragrant and its excellent plant keeps it blooming throughout the season. Not many of the patented and advertised new varieties are its equal, though Sir Henry Segrave, much lighter in color, is of the same general elegance. Illustrated on opposite page.
