'Queen Elizabeth'  Taller    Pink   Remontant P2    H4    ***** 
Looking  back through the years of my life as a rose grower, I think this is the best rose raised during that time. Its vigour ensures easy growth and good performance. It is not  a rose for a particular region or climate, but appears to thrive everywhere. On a visit to Australia a few years ago, I was told that it is practically the only rose which is equally  good all along that mighty coastline, wherever  roses are  grown, from Adelaide to  Queensland; and also in Perth in the west.   It was raised by Dr W. E. Lammerts  from 'Charlotte Armstrong' x  `Floradora', and  introduced by Germain' s Nursery  of Los Angeles, in 1954. The  remarkable vigour puts it out of place among the Floribundas, because it is twice as tall as many of them.  The growth  is upright and the flowers attractively pink, good for cutting or garden  display. The colour is not a normal rose pink, but more like the lighter pinks seen in  cyclamen or fuchsias.     No better hedge rose exists, but pruning can be a problem, for on it depends the height of the hedge and the covering of the base. The answer with 'Queen Elizabeth' is to have no fear of cutting some of the old wood down, to make it break into young growth and leaves towards the base of the plant. It usually responds to this treatment, and with some  cut short, and some left tall, very handsome plants are the result.    Queen Elizabeth II was beginning her reign when this rose was named after her by the  American raiser, and no kinder compliment in the world of roses could be made from one  country to  another. I believe that the suggestion came  from Harry Wheatcroft  when he  saw the rose under trial.

Queen Elizabeth... raised by Dr. Walter E. Lammerts, of Livermore, California... He had begun work on it just after the war, crossing 'Charlotte Armstrong', a tall-growing blood-red hybrid tea of his own breeding, with 'Floradora', a red floribunda raised by the Tantaus in Germany... the American plants of 'Queen Elizabeth' were all much bigger than anything [Wheatcroft himself had] ever seen the variety achieve in [England]... budded on multiflora stocks, which always produce an outsize root system, they were three or four times the size of [the plants in England] in every way... fragrance is all that it lacks...
