Roses here are possibly more subject to blights and fungus diseases than in Northern gardens, but less liable to aphis and insects generally. The Teas and Hybrid-teas are most generally planted. Radiance and Red Radiance are giving greatest satisfaction with their long stems and strong full buds; but Minnie Francis, Ophelia, Killarney, Maman Cochet, Sunburst and most of the other popular varieties are good standbys, ever and always if given good care!

(80) Killarney (HT) (A. Dickson) F. 2. Flesh shaded white, with a pale pink suffusion. A showy flower with long buds, but foliage very liable to mildew. ‘Killarney Brilliant’ and ‘Killarney Queen’ are much darker in colour. The climbing Killarney promises genuine climbing habit.

George M. Taylor.  Roses and Mildew.
....The above list of highly resistant Roses is subject to the following reservation:  If grown, say, in a garden in which none of the extremely susceptible type, such as Margaret Dickson, Killarney and Lady Ashtown, has a place, all of the varieties mentioned will give but little worry and labour in regard to mildew.

The firm of Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., has long been identified with the introduction of new forcing roses, having many successes to its credit: Killarney, President Carnot, Liberty, Double White Killarney, Killarney Brilliant and Irish Fire Flame were introduced by them and were leading varieties in all markets for years.

Killarney followed in 1898;  it is a beautiful Exhibition flower of soft pink colour, but its incorrigible hospitality to mildew will banish it from our gardens ere long.
