'Mrs. Edward Mawley' rose Reviews & Comments

Re: Bloom - salmon orange. That description does not reflect the early literature references to carmine pink, shaded salmon.
Helpmefind have picked up the quote from the 2nd edition of Foster Melliar, but I think the quote from the 4th edition also needs to be quoted:
1900 2nd edition p316 Said to be a seedling from Mrs. W. J. Grant, it certain[ly] shows a strong family likeness to that fine Rose, but is a better grower
1910 4th edition p304 Said to be a seedling from Mrs. W. J. Grant, it hardly shows a strong family likeness to that fine Rose, nor is it a better grower.
