p24. Arthur R. Goodwin: I should employ Mme. Berkeley, remembering its fine erect habit, bold leafage, grand autumnal effect, and freedom from the mildew scourge.
.....In order to secure the best effects of colour and habit of growth I should suggest that the beds in the plan be planted with the varieties in the order given below : 1, G. Nabonnand ; 2. Préfet Monteil ; 3, Mme. Jean Dupuy ; 4. Princesse de Sagan ; 5, Hon. E. Gifford ; 6, Mme. Berkeley ; 7, Marie Van Houtte : 8, Anna Olivier ; 9, Corallina ; 10, Dr. Grill; 11, Mme. Lombard ; 12, Comtesse Festetics Hamilton.

p54 I find that I have omitted Tea Mme Berkeley [from his list of fragrant roses] but it should most certainly be included.
[Other roses listed by Mr Goodwin as especially fragrant are: Gustav Grunerwald, Mme de St Joseph, Souvenir de Gabrielle Drevet, Papa Lambert, Farbenkonigin, Charlotte Gillemot, Princess Bonnie, Johanna Sebus, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Rose a Parfum de l'Hay and Zephyrine Drouhin.]

Some Good Roses
The true Teas hold their own as our best autumnals, for where is there anything to touch Marie van Houtte in splendour at this season of the year.  Then how glowing are General Schablikine, Albert Stopford and Comtesse Festetics Hamilton, the delicate-tinted Mme. Berkeley, Mme. Antoine Mari, Enchantress, or Sulphurea!
