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.
Mrs. Charles Bell. Hybrid Tea. (Mrs. Charles Bell, 1917.) Lovely shell-pink buds and blooms of fine globular form with shadings of soft salmon; sweetly perfumed. The plant is notably strong and bushy, bearing good foliage seldom attacked by disease.
A sport from Radiance, and exactly like it in all respects except its finer, softer color. Discriminating growers prefer it to its parent, and it is widely planted. Throughout some sections of the country Mrs. Charles Bell, with Radiance and Red Radiance, are almost the only Roses planted.

Edward Teas, Texas. Among the most successful roses in our gardens, the three 'Radiances' ('Radiance', 'Red Radiance', 'Mrs. Charles Bell') stand out like mountain peaks. For years they have surpassed all other roses in our section, being constantly in bloom, having strong, vigorous growth, long-stemmed flowers of good substance and keeping qualities, fragrant and always beautiful. One of our neighbors gathered more than a thousand dozen roses the first season from eight dozen rose bushes, and the same garden produced forty one dozen blooms in three days n the spring rose-time. These are not exceptional instances; other gardens may have exceeded this production, and probably did. It is not uncommon to see 'Radiance' rose bushes in our gardens 6 to 7 feet, and occasionally 8 to 9 feet high, laden with long-stemmed blossoms. These striking illustrations, combined with the numerous instances in our gardens of "grand old roses bushes" often so old that their origin is forgotten, have convinced us, along with years of careful experience, that too much trimming is a dangerous thing for southern roses

Hybrid Teas, Teas  and Pernetiana.
Mrs. Charles Bell. Hybrid Tea. (Mrs. Charles Bell, 1917.) A shell-pink sport of Radiance. It has no characteristics which make it distinct from Radiance except that it is shell-pink. Mrs. Charles Bell, Red Radiance, and Radiance offer a range of color that will be welcome and there are no finer garden Roses for America than these three.

p126. William P. Clark, Florida. A later purchase of 100 ‘Radiance’ and ‘Mrs. Charles Bell’ were on Cherokee stock and, as far as I have observed, they have not shown to any better advantage, although I have been told that they must be on Cherokee stock to succeed here.

p131 Louis P. Bosanquet, Florida. Of the hybrid teas, ‘Radiance’, ‘Red Radiance’ and ‘Mrs. Charles Bell’ are the best growers and bloomers.

p133 Dibble, Cook and Cutler. Roses in and For Florida. The best varieties for this climate are ‘Radiance’, ‘Mrs. Charles Bell’ and ….

p209. Good Roses in Georgia. The drought was unprecedented throughout the spring and summer, but the ‘Radiances’ and ‘Mrs. Charles Bell’ did wonderfully well in spite of dry, hot weather. ‘Mrs. Charles Bell’ is lovely at all times, and blooms more freely than ‘Radiance’ if that is possible. The color reminds me of the peony, Walter Faxon and though it is delicate, it does not fade very much even in our intense heat.

'Dixie' ..... of similar shade to Mrs. Chas J. Bell and both roses originated from the same parent, viz., 'Pink Radiance'. 'Dixie' is more double and more cupped in shape than 'Mrs. Bell'......
Really too much like 'Mrs. Chas. J. Bell' to warrant 2 varieties.
