[From "Some Roses in My Garden", By Helga Brichet, pp. 5-7]
...Barabara and Peter Knox Shaw in Elgin, close to Cape Town ....On a trip ro South Western China some years ago, they ran across a delightful little China which they named *Sichuan Perpetual". The buds are long and pointed, the semi-double flowrrs have slightly twisted or lilting petals that start in various shades of pink and, after five or six days become a clear, very, but very, dark red. The plant is indeed amazingly floriferous. Unusually for a China, the leaflets are glossy.
