Roses by Bobbink & Atkins
(1929)  Page(s) 11.  
 
Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Amalie De Greiff. Hybrid Tea. (P. Lambert, 1912.) Ovoid buds of brick-rose, and large, well-formed, globular flowers of fine substance and petalage, paling as they open to light shell- or salmon-pink, deeper in center. Grows well and blooms steadily throughout most of the season.
Foliage is soft but little bothered by disease. A most attractive Rose whose unusual color ought to win it a place of honor in all good collections.

Amélie De Bethune. Hybrid Tea. (Pernet-Ducher, 1923.) Very large, globular flowers of coral-red, shaded with crimson, double and moderately fragrant. Erect, bushy growth, bearing abundant foliage and a wealth of bloom.
A very interesting variety resembling Mme. Edouard Herriot somewhat, with a better shaped flower and more petals. Color more of a coral-pink than red.

Amélie Gravereaux. (Gravereaux, 1904.) Medium-sized flowers of dark purplish red, double and very fragrant, borne several together throughout the summer on sturdy, spiny plants with rough, leathery foliage.
A strong shrub, noted for its fine foliage. Hardy to the tips of the canes in severe climates.

America (Hill's America). Hybrid Tea. (E. G. Hill Co., 1921.) Fine, light pink blooms of exquisite form and heavy substance; fragrant. Growth fair; foliage good.
Close to its parent Columbia, and has been a disappointment to us.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses
American Beauty. (Bancroft, 1886.) Dark pink, shaded with smoky carmine, full, globular form and most deliciously fragrant. Growth quite vigorous; blooms with unusual freedom; foliage bad. 
Requires a dry, cool situation, heavy fertilization and protection from mildew. Under such conditions it does well; but better in a greenhouse.
A reliable fall-blooming Hybrid Perpetual.

American Pillar. Hybrid Wichuraiana. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1902.) Fairly large, single flowers of brilliant crimson-pink, with large white centers and golden yellow stamens. Blooms profusely in tremendous clusters on plants of astonishing vigor.

Hardy Climbing Roses
Amethyste. Hybrid Mulitiflora. (A. Nonin, 1912.) Half double, peculiar, steel-blue flowers with violet-crimson shading, produced in very large clusters by very vigorous plants.

Hybrid Sweetbriers
A class of Roses known as the Penzance Briers, developed by Lord Penzance from the common Sweetbrier, Rosa rubiginosa. They have deliciously scented foliage, and bear charming single or half-double flowers along their arching canes, which look best rising from a lower undergrowth. Useful in parks, along driveways, and in shrubberies. When well established, they are very hardy. These Roses are $1 each for strong, field-grown plants.
Amy Robsart. (Penzance, 1894.) Bright rose flowers of medium size, with two rows of petals. Fragrant in flower and foliage. Plant very vigorous.
(1929)  Page(s) 61.  
 
Lambertiana Roses
A class of Roses new to this country, originated by Peter Lambert of Germany. They tend to be shrubby climbers which bloom more or less frequently during the season. Valuable as strong shrubs and most interesting as a step forward in Rose progress. Following varieties are $1.50 each
Andenken an Gartendirektor Siebert. (H. Kiese & Co., 1923.) Semi-double to double flowers of carmine-rose and yellow, freely borne in clusters throughout the season on a vigorous, semi-climbing shrub.
One of the Lambertiana race, but not so free-flowering in autumn as some of the others. A charming variety for a low pillar or decorative shrubbery use.
(1929)  Page(s) 47.
