'Elizabeth Harkness' has a sweet fragrance while the parents are both scentless… produces many perfect blooms in the course of the season and stand bad weather well. If you cut it for the house, choose blooms with parted petals, as tight ones may not open. Description.

(1946) [Harkness thinks] its exquisite flower formation has never been surpassed, but by the standards of today it is a mediocre plant, and it was always a sufferer from "'Southport' [one of its parents] necks" (see Glossary for a definition)

Named for Sallyanne Pawsey, the daughter of the raiser … an appealing shape, like a camellia… [to Harkness] the scent is pungent rather than sweet, but many like it, judging from fragrance competitions where 'English Miss' has been known to lead the field. Description.

[In his foreward to this book, Peter Hering writes:] 'Tigris' and 'Euphrates' … have been created by crosses with Rosa (or Hulthemia) persica, a strange plant that has sometimes been included with the Rose family and sometimes put in a genus of its own. Work with persica is difficult and has rarely been attended with any success. These two varieties represent a very significant accomplishment for Harkness & Co.

Description. Jack Harkness and Alec Cocker used R. persica in their breeding program. Their objective is to fuse the genes of R. persica, a remote wild cousin of the rose family, into garden roses. Its attractive features are a bright non-fading yellow colour and the presence -- uniquely in wild roses -- of a rich scarlet 'eye' at each petal base…. Together with 'Tigris', which is yellow, it points the way forward to exciting future developments in rose colours.
