Friendship shows more of the white streaks in the lower petals than probably any Rose we have had before; a garden red we cannot expect to be very popular.

Friendship. Purely decorative, very free flowering, strong growth; colour very good.

Friendship, H.T. (A. Dickson).-An ordinary red so far, scented, with 15 to 20 petals. May improve when established, as reds often do. 

p119.  Mr. C. W. Heers.  Roses in Queensland 
on a limited acquaintance.. Friendship, H.T.- The description given by the raisers - bright strawberry red with brilliant scarlet undertone, moderately full, with large petals - is fairly reliable here. The colour is decidedly brilliant, but dulls somewhat as the flower expands. Its ultimate growth and flowering propensities will determine its future.
