Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses
(1949)  
 
"HELEN BLAND* - our seedling of Betty Bland, that differs scarcely at all in flower, but is completely thornless. Should become very popular."

Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses - ca 1949 p.6
(1949)  
 
"HOLLAND DOUBLE WHITE ALTAI - a double variety of the Altai rose secured originally from Holland. Probably our best double white rose in the class of spring bloomers."

Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses - ca 1949 p. 8
 
(1949)  
 
"HURON AND IROQUOIS - mauve pink and blush white respectively, semi-double, rather insignificant flowers, profusely suckering. Valuable in parks where sheets of bloom and complete hardiness of plant are required rather than quality of flower."

Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses - ca 1949 p. 9
(1949)  Page(s) 13.  
 
"JENNIFER*- a rose of unknown ancestry, but probably Hansa by Hansen's Siberian Hedge Rose. "The Vitamin Rose," offered for its value as a fruit plant, large red fruits with lots of "meat" and freely produced. Good crops every year. Valuable also as an ornamental, with semi-double flowers of deep mauve-pink."
(1949)  
 
"JOHN ALLEN - another strain of the same species [R. suffulta], almost equally attractive and very much better supplied with pollen."

"LAC LA NONNE - a hybrid sent to me by Mr. Georges Bugnet of Lac Majeau, Alberta, and presumably Hansa by Acicularis. Rather like Tetonkaha, but flowers a little smaller, plant more erect, and taller, up to eight feet. Could be classified as a pillar rose. Hardy to 60 degrees below zero."

"LANGFORD - a climbing rose originated at Ottawa by Miss Isabella Preston from the Michigan wild semi-climbing species rosa Setigera. May never "climb" on the prairies, but blooms while still a small plant. Needs careful protection. Flowers freely produced, valuable, double, nearly red."
(1949)  
 
"LITTLE BETTY* - in effect a pale variant of Betty Bland, and slightly smaller. It is very fertile, and we are introducing it chiefly for the use of those who are interested in breeding new hardy roses."

Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses - ca 1949 p.5

Loch Lomond - Altaica x Harison's Yellow, better than semi-double, golden yellow. This is the nearest thing to a Harison's Yellow that is hardy and floriferous in Northern Saskatchewan."

"Mme. Georges Bruant - like the foregoing, [Sir Thomas Lipton] but far more double, and thrives more easily. Much hardier than the hardiest hybrid Perpetuals, but approaches them in quality. A good choice for those who are willing to give some protection, but who do not quite succeed with hybrid perpetuals."
