[in 1895, George Paul reported] the main survivor [of Henry Bennett's ten Pedigree Hybrids of the Tea Rose] was 'Duke of Connaught', a red rose with beautiful buds... still being used to produce cut flowers in winter in England. The Duke had been Prince Arthur, the seventh child of Queen Victoria, and was a distinguished soldier. He died in his nineties, in 1942. His wife, who was a Prussian princess, also had one of the roses named after her: 'Duchess of Connaught'

The early Cockers were not notable rose breeders. Their first varieties, brought out in 1892, were two chance sports from Hybrid Perpetuals. One was a deeper coloured flower found among their stock of the carmine 'Etienne Levet', and introduced as 'Duke of Fife'; a pale variation among the pink 'Countess of Roseberry' became 'Duchess of Fife"...

Eclipse so named because it was first seen to be good on the day of an eclipse of the sun in August 1932; it was introduced in 1935. a yellow Hybrid Tea, grown widely for many years in warmer countries than Britain.

....in May 1962 we began our career as hybridists...It was in 1964 that we saw the results in the open air, and began to select our first introductions. The best was 'Escapade', a semi-double Floribunda from 'Pink Parfait' X 'Baby Faurax', with wide lilac pink blooms, white to the centre. The most popular, because more conventional, were helped by a fortunate thought in naming them in association with one another. 'King Arthur', 'Guinevere', 'Sir Lancelot' and 'Merlin'. We introduced them in 1967, five years from the time of pollination...

The most interesting project was Rosa persica, a difficult species, of which I probably held the largest stock ever grown outside its native regions. The object here was to raise a fertile hybrid, but although we got in the end over a hundred, some very beautiful, and notable as the first recorded since 1836, they were all sterile and bloomed only in the summer. Their beauty lay in a dark red eye at the centre of the bloom. I obtained them single and double, yellow, pink, salmon and orange. Having put a lot of work into this bit of pioneering, I thought we might introduce two of the hybrids, and sent them to the Royal National Rose Society's trials. No interest was expressed, and I accepted the fact that they were not yet suitable for gardens, although of great botanical interest.

[Joseph Pemberton's sister, Florence] received a tribute from Alexander Dickson of Newtownards, who introduced in 1903 a creamy pink Hybrid Tea rose named 'Florence Pemberton'.
