Book (1963) Page(s) 16. Dr. A. S. Thomas. New Roses in Victoria Evelyn Fison Florib. (McGredy, 1962). Most unfortunately this rose is to be called 'Irish Wonder' on the Continent of Europe, and, of course, it may be given any other name on another continent ! There are many fine crimson Floribundas but this variety, after having grown it for two years, impresses me as at least equal to any of them - possibly it is the best of them.
