'Christopher Stone' rose Reviews & Comments

Alister Clark writes the following on page 46 of The Australian and New Zealand Rose Annual (1943):
“Take a rose like Christopher Stone, a perfectly beautiful rose of unrivalled brilliance, with deep shading, and yet we are told is too thin even in England. If it were much fuller it probably would not display its gorgeous sheen.”

Thank you FuzzyBee. Reference added.
I am glad you are enjoying and gleaning these old Annuals. I have loved them too and am currently adding all the New Introductions to HelpMeFind and am up to 1960. In addition, I have indexed all the roses ever mentioned in these Australian Rose Annuals from 1928 to 2015 and if you are searching for a particular rose, these indices are on the Heritage Roses in Australia website, and also on the National Rose Society website.

Thanks, Patricia! Your indices are a boon even to haphazard dabblers like myself, so thank you so much for the work you've done. I'm taking my time and savouring the 1943 annual - no used book sale shall be safe from me until I have them all, haha.
