Meteor is disappointing, both as dwarf and climber, as it seldom opens well. And Christine de Noue, a vigorous grower, is one that opens too quickly.

Meteor donne des fleurs moyennes dépourvues d’odeur. Liberty produit des fleurs plus volumineuses, odorantes, sur des tiges très longues, quand la culture des plantes est réussie.
Réussir est une question délicate avec Meteor et Liberty. Elles ne répondent pas toujours aux efforts du cultivateur et coûtent, dans tous les cas, tellement de charbon et des appareils si perfectionnés que les spécialistes attendent impatiemment le jour où il sera possible de les remplacer.

Without hesitation it [Liberty] was stated to far outdo Meteor in the production of high quality blooms. The color is also superior, retaining that velvety crimson shade — so much admired in a rose by everybody— longer than does the variety which it is expected it is destined to supersede. It was also stated that it is not so full of petals as Meteor, which may make it less valuable as a summer rose....
