George Paul .....introduced ‘Miss Willmott,’ a coppery-red five-petaled rose. Released to commerce in 1899, sources suggest it was a seedling out of the similarly colored Tea-Noisette ‘L’Ideal,’ and thus it was classified as a Tea. Graham Stuart Thomas compared it in in flower form and size to the compact growing crimson China ‘Miss Lowe’s Variety.’ The only known illustration of ‘Miss Willmott’ appears in part five of The Genus Rosa

Then a beautiful variety is the crimson sometimes known as Miss Lowe's variety or sanguinea ; this I think is a type, and not a garden variety like the one known as Miss Willmott, which is single and of a distinct copper colour.

Rose Miss Willmott
A Dainty little Rose of beautiful colour is this single Tea Rose. It reminds me, before the buds unfold, of a small specimen of L’Ideal, and it is surprising what a length of time these buds remain on the plant in the folded condition during October days. The clusters of buds, if cut when they show colour, open beautifully in the warmth of a room, and it would be difficult to find a more lovely tinted Rose for a small vase. These single Teas and Hybrid Teas have a value that must not be lost sight of, although I cannot see how they merit the award of a gold medal, for all who have had anything to do with the raising of seedling Roses know full well that there are fully 50 per cent. more single Roses produced than double ones. The variety Irish Elegance is delightfully pretty, but the wisdom of the recent award of the National Rose Society was doubted by many competent judges.
