H. R. Darlington.  Form in the Rose.
1898 gave us Killarney, which though now superseded, was of beautiful form, and quite popular as a market flower when grown under glass, where its tendency to mildew could be kept in check.

Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Killarney. Hybrid Tea. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1898.) Long-pointed buds, opening to flat, bright sparkling pink blooms with enormous petals. Vigorous grower and very free flowering.
For many years a very popular greenhouse and garden sort. Now it is somewhat frowned upon, but is still good.

Killarney, Pink.  Hybrid Tea.  The beautiful Irish Rose.  There is a peculiar charm about this exquisite Hybrid Tea Rose, as its very name conjures up all the beauties of Irish scenery and brings to one's mind the picture of "the Emerald isles and winding bays" of beautiful Lake Killarney.  The bush is upright, with beautiful, deep, bronzy green foliage.  The color is deep, brilliant, sparkling shell-pink.

THE ROSARY.  By Dog Rose.
For some time past in these columns I have been giving notes on what we consider to be the best of the roses, but I think it is also important to mention varieties of roses which have bad faults, and cannot be classed among the best varieties. I do not wish to utterly condemn the roses which are mentioned in this article, but I think that in any case the varieties referred to have a fault, which is quite sufficient to make the gardener put them on one side when so many up-to-date new varieties can be secured. [...] Killarney is a rose that has gone out of favour during the last few years owing to its proneness to mildew. It almost invariably disfigures the foliage and spoils the buds. There are so many new decorative roses that Killarney should be now practically dropped.
