‘Melle Annie Wood’/’Annie Wood’ = Hybrid Remontant. Jadis très prisé, cet hybride remontant a disparu des catalogues et des collections publiques… grandes fleurs pleines et odorantes, écarlates irisés de cramoisi.. en bouquets légers. L’ombre approfondit leur beau rouge, parfois strié de blanc, surtout en automne. C’est un robuste buisson, à tiges rougeâtres armées d’aiguillons crochus sous un feuillage ample et sombre, craignant l’oïdium et la rouille. Verdier, France, 1866. Ascendance inconnue.

"Manners and Customs"
Hybrid Perpetuals
Annie Wood (E. Verdier, 1866). — Here we have a Rose with manners and customs (fortunately) peculiar to itself. It is a fine strong grower, with fair foliage, liable to mildew and orange fungus, but not much injured by rain. A great quantity of buds form on each stem: the top bud of all, which one would naturally reserve, is nearly always cracked, hollow, and distorted before it is much bigger than a thimble, and sometimes has a great green pip in the centre. You may search for the best-shaped bud, and do away with all the others for its sake. Even then, nine out of ten buds will show a great eye before they are more than half expanded, and the tenth will do it soon after being cut. You make up your mind to discard the sort altogether: but, just at the close of the season, a beautiful bloom makes its appearance on a shoot you had not noticed, with brilliant colour, full size, delightful fragrance, and good imbricated shape- a lovely Rose: and the plants are spared to serve you just the same trick another season. The title of this chapter being what it is, it seems impossible to avoid sooner or later bringing in the time-honoured anecdote of the traveller who, describing the "manners and customs" of some native tribes he had been visiting, was constrained to dismiss one of them with the terse remark, "manners none- customs disgusting." If it be possible to say anything so bad of a Rose, I am doubtful whether a better example than Annie Wood can be found for such a description in the N.R.S. Catalogue. The good blooms come generally on old plants- it is of no use as a maiden. It should not be pruned too severely- a rule that generally applies to all those which are not good as maidens.
