1918 The Rose Annual
p74. H. R. Darlington. A Study of Form in the Rose. Lady Battersea an early Rose long in the bud, is purely decorative……We may trace the decorative type, of which I have taken ‘Lady Battersea’ as an example, in very varying form through ‘Edu Meyer’, looser and less shapely, through ‘Betty’, good in August, ’Mme. Segond-Weber’, ‘Mrs. Alfred Tate’ and ‘Dorothy Ratcliffe’ to ‘Ophelia’, one of our most successful garden Roses…..
