Roses by Bobbink & Atkins
(1929)  Page(s) 42.  
 
Polyantha Roses
Polyanthas are, perhaps the most truly everblooming of all Roses, being scarcely ever out of flower during the whole growing season... They are especially valuable for massing, edging, and to some extent for mingling with other flowers.
Andrée Lenoble. (E. Turbat & Co., 1916.) Bright rose, double flowers, borne in corymbs of 50 to 100 on upright plants throughout the season.
Very floriferous and discolors less than most. Strong growth and good foliage. $1 each.
(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.
Angèle Pernet. Hybrid Tea. (Pernet-Ducher, 1924.) Brownish orange blooms of excellent shape, although only semi-double, and the color is well retained; some fragrance. Plant is of moderate growth, but loses its foliage in wet seasons.
A most attractive color, approaching very nearly that of the gladiolus Alice Tiplady, but darker. Rather delicate in growth in the East but we have accounts of its splendid behavior in the Rocky Mountain region. Try growing it in half shade. There is none other that approaches it in color, and when well-grown it is one of the loveliest things in the garden. $1.50 each.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses
Anna de Diesbach. (Lacharme, 1858.) Clear rosy carmine, unusually large, double flowers with thick, deeply cupped petals, reflexed and shaded red at the edges. Strong growth, free flowering.
A Rose for the North. Heat badly spoils the buds and opening flowers. Profusely flowering, often giving some bloom in autumn.
 
(1929)  Page(s) 2.  
 
Novelties and Scarce Roses
Anne. Hybrid Tea. (J. H. Pemberton, 1925.) Pointed buds and globular flowers of rich. distinct cherry-red, filled with delicious, old-fashioned Rose perfume. Blooms are held erect; plant vigorous, compact, and free-flowering.
One of the late Rev. Mr. Pemberton's adventures into the Hybrid Tea class, and seems a very fine variety. It is popular abroad.
(1929)  Page(s) 66.  
 
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.
Anne of Geierstein. (Penzance, 1894.) Rich, dark crimson flowers, rather larger than most; single and very fragrant. Strong growing and most prolific.

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.
Antoine Rivoire. Hybrid Tea. (Pernet-Ducher, 1895.) Pale, silvery pink, often shaded lilac, with a touch of yellow at the base; opens flat; double to center; medium size; fragrant. Erect, moderate growth; foliage small, dark; free blooming spring and fall; extremely hardy.
A favorite Rose for many years, equally attractive in bud and open flower which is a perfect example of the imbricated form. It seldom mildews. Midsummer bloom shy. Valuable for cool regions and gardens where mildew is prevalent.
(1929)  Page(s) 58.  
 
Tender Climbing Roses
Ards Rover. Climbing Hybrid Perpetual. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1898.) Large, double flowers of dark, shining crimson with stiff petals, produced profusely on a vigorous plant.
The habit is straggly and it is inclined to become leggy, but it is extremely handsome when in flower.
(1929)  Page(s) 12.  
 
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.
Argentine Cramon. Hybrid Tea. (C. Chambard, 1915.) Very fine, double blooms, shading from pure white at base of outer petals to pale rose at the tips, and deepening to salmon in the center. Not notably fragrant. Good growth and attractive foliage.
Has excellent bedding qualities. Beautiful in the bud state when it is most distinct and attractive but not so good in hot weather.
(1929)  Page(s) 36.  
 
China or Bengal Roses
These are everblooming Roses of most profuse habit, although their flowers are not as large or of such shape and substance as the Hybrid Teas. They are excellent sorts for massing or edging, for which purpose they are only rivaled by the Polyanthas. Their wood is slender, their foliage small, and they are continually in bloom.
Ariadne (W. Paul & Son, 1918.) Flowers bright crimson shaded yellow at center, semi-double, large petals. Vigorous growth and very floriferous.
Bright and effective for massing or bedding, having large, ruffled flowers of charming informal shape, and cheerful ruddy color.

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.
Ariel. Hybrid Tea. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Large, globular flowers of orange-flame and yellow, shaded with crimson at center and on outside of buds, quite fragrant. Plant generally vigorous, upright, and free flowering, with foliage which does not mildew under ordinary conditions.
The sturdy plant blooms in great bursts of color, making a splendid decorative sort. Very similar to Independence Day and is replacing that variety in a good many gardens.
