The Royal Botanic Show, July 4th, 1913.
Brilliant (Hugh Dickson, Ltd.), Gold Medal.—Awarded for colour, which is fitly described by its name, undoubtedly the best scarlet crimson amongst the Hybrid Teas. Another garden Rose, as it has hardly enough petals for exhibition; of much merit, especially in a cool season. One would have expected from its colour to find it heavily perfumed, but it is not so—slightly fragrant is the most one can say for it. But what a glorious splash of colour a bed of its plants well covered with its large-petalled flowers would make! I trust it will prove free flowering- the plant is of good habit and erect in growth- and if it is we shall be a step nearer the scarlet crimson bedding Rose that we all want.
