As to pruning, they may be classed as coming somewhere between the climbers and those ramblers which form their new growth at the base. They will not form as many basal shoots, but to make up for this will make new growth from the main stems between 2-4 ft. from the ground and will also form numerous laterals. (See p418 for more on pruning)

Crossed with the tea rose, Devoniensis, it produced the famous Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, a two-toned pink rose and mother of the modern rose. Writing in The Rose Annual (1956) Mr. James Gamble of Maryland, USA made mention that 37 per cent of all roses raised in the USA and which have recorded pedigrees may be traced back to Lady Fitzwilliam chiefly through Mme. Caroline Testout and Antoine Rivoire, raised in France by Pernet-Ducher in 1890.
