p35-5 Dr. A. S. Thomas, Victoria: I am still seeking a white for show purposes with the form, size and petal substance of Patrick Anderson, Editor McFarland or President Hoover. Mrs. Herbert Stevens blooms a little too early; White Ensign is too small……

p118-2 Mr. T. Honeybun, Victoria: White Ensign (McGredys’) Fine healthy foliage and growth free and branching. When the weather is hot and severe then this variety shows up to advantage. The flower lasts for a long time.

Très connue et admirée en Angleterre, « White Ensign » est pratiquement une étrangère ici. La saison dernière elle me fit une surprise agréable. Sa fine contexture et sa forme sont exceptionnelles. Son parfum délicat est en plein accord avec le caractère de cette belle rose. Elle poussa avec une vigueur modérée et était munie d'un bon feuillage. Les fleurs paru rent jusque tard en automne.
