The Practical Book of Outdoor Rose Growing (1914)
(1914)  Page(s) 36-37.  
 
In 1894 this rose [Lady Mary Fitzwilliam] with Dr. Grill produced Antoine Revoire, a rose that is holding its own among the newer Hybrid Teas of today, and is still by far the best rose of its shade in this country.

Gardenia. Hybrid Wichuriana. Manda; 1899. Clusters, bright yellow, paler as flowers expand; very pretty in bud form. Foliage very good. This rose can be secured from Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, Pa. Do not confound it with Gardenia of Soupert & Notting, which is inferior with us.

The Practical Book of Outdoor Rose Growing, George C. Thomas, Jr., 1914
6. IMPERIAL PINK 
JONKHEER J. L. MOCK. LEENDERSJ 1909. HYBRID TEA 
Very large growth and very hardy; only fair foliage, extremely long stems; long bud and large bloom of great substance; not a prolific but, considering the length of stems, a fine bloomer from frost to frost and a long keeper. Absolutely necessary to secure in two-year-old plants; yearlings do not appear to transplant with any success. Plant 20 inches center to center. Prune to 5 eyes (buds).

Another rose which stands out prominently is Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, a pedigree rose introduced in 1882, and one of the parents of Caroline Testout. In 1894 this rose with Dr. Grill produced Antoine Revoire, a rose that is holding its own among the newer Hybrid Teas of today, and is still by far the best rose of its shade in this country. Crossed with La France in 1894, Lady Mary Fitzwilliam gave Mrs. W. J. Grant (syn. Belle Siebrecht), a rose still popular; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria resulted when she was crossed with Coquette de Lyon.
