'Mrs. E. G. Hill'* [Swedish Unknown 12]. HT. Good reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Habit diagram 3 [e.g. 'La France'. The old HTs that more closely resemble their Tea rose parents are twiggy, compact, and bushy....] Soupert & Notting, 1905. [Provenance Sequoia] Pearl pink, bicolored with a deep carmine pink on the reverse of the petals. Very shapely and fragrant, lightly double flowers; Phillip speculates that this may be the old Hybrid Tea, 'Mrs. E. G. Hill' from 1906, by Soupert et Notting.

It is, therefore, unexpected to find that from the mating of ‘Caroline Testout’ with ‘Liberty’, which is certainly a deep enough crimson, we should get the bicolour ‘Mrs. E. G. Hill’, which is a bright pink on the outside of the petal, and rosy white on the reverse. ‘Liberty’ itself, however, came from ‘Mrs. W. J. Grant’ x ‘General Jacqueminot’, and it is doubtless from the former of these, with Caroline’s white ancestry, that ‘Mrs. E. G. Hill’ takes her colour.

H. R. Darlington. Bedding Roses.
‘Mrs. E. G. Hill’ HT. Soupert et Notting, 1906). This beautiful Rose is one of the bi-colour type, resembling in colour the flowers of ‘Grand Duc Adolphe de Luxemburg’, but unlike that variety the blooms are carried upright. I used to consider this the most effective bedding Rose in my garden after ‘Mrs. Leon Pain’, and in wet weather superior to that Rose, and I have found little reason to alter my opinion. The flowers are rather more than semi-double and of beautiful form until quite expanded. It has the defect from the point of view of an exhibitor of decorative Roses that the flowers do not travel well, being apt to lose freshness, and the colour does not harmonise readily with some other Roses.

Mrs. H. R. Darlington.  Roses in Autumn
...all I would suggest is that for late autumn blooming, those kinds with few but solid petals, for example, the brilliant red Mrs. Edward Powell, the pale blush La Tosca, the bright pink Mrs. E. G. Hill and such single Roses as Irish Elegance, are specially suitable for weather which at that time of year is apt to be changeable and damp.
