From 1913 series of Wills's cigarette cards (No 72) Text on reverse of card: QUEEN MARY. (Hybrid Tea.) A decorative rose of unique colouring, with vigorous habit of growth. It is very floriferous, sweetly perfumed, and undoubtedly has a future before it. The flowers are produced freely and continuously, and being almost thornless it will be very valuable for decoration. Introduced in 1912, and awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society.
