Frank Mason, Feilding N.Z.  Some Newer Roses.
Of truly decorative roses, one of the best is McGredy's Sunset, and now come two sports from it which are truly beautiful. Beryl Formby is one that catches the eye at once and is closely followed by another sport from the same source in Flaming Sunset. Both are very similar in growth to the parent and will make a fine show in the garden.

Harry H. Hazlewood.  The New Roses of 1951. Flaming Sunset (Eddie, 1947), Sunset Glory (Boerner, 1947). Sunset Pride (Morse, 1949), Beryl Formby (Fryer, 1948) are all sports of 'McGredy's Sunset' with many points in common. They all have the same rather moderate growth, dark stems, glossy foliage, semi-double bicolour blooms. Beryl Formby described last year appears to be the most stable of these various sports.
