'Robert Scott' rose Reviews & Comments

"The greatest trouble with this beautiful rose is that it will persist in producing buds on every shoot, no matter how small or weak it may be, and the only way to get a fair length of stem to the flowers is to pick off all the buds from the short stems and induce them to make a second growth from where the bud is pinched out. Robert Scott will be more appreciated as a perpetual summer blooming variety than for forcing in winter," from American Florist, vol. 18, 1902, p. 205.

"Among novelties, the most prominent, perhaps, was the rose Robert Scott, described as 'the ever-blooming hybrid perpetual.' Under glass, it is conceded to bear out this description; its behavior in the open ground is, as yet, merely a matter of hope and conjecture, but its appearance is of a rose capable of giving a good account of itself everywhere. A big vase of it was shown. The color is an exquisite shade of pink, its texture heavy, and its shape at times very beautiful, though it is of the shorter-petaled type, and does not exhibit the beauty of form of the urn-shaped sorts having great depth of bud and petal," from The Country Gentleman, vol. 66, 1901, p. 280.
