The Banshee rose, of unknown origin, but evidently related to the Perpetuals. This would be a valuable variety were its flowers not inclined to “ball.” Where it got its comparative hardiness is a mystery.

Prior to 1900 a few pioneering rose breeders made crosses along the lines indicated, but only two or three of the varieties then created now survive, notably Cecile Brunner, (also known as the Sweetheart rose) , Eugenie Lamesch and Leonie Lamesch. I have not found Cecile Brunner to be reliably hardy in this climate and, although I have seen the other two, I have never grown them.

In the second place [after Mrs. Verschuren] I list Miss America (Nicolas, 1938), a vigorous, hardy and healthy sort, producing massive exhibition blooms of great size and lasting qualities with fair freedom. My criticism is that the color is not sufficiently diistinctive, otherwise very impressive.

In the coppery-pink group the piece de resistance undoubtedly is Mrs. Verschuren (Verschuren, 1936). This variety, which received a gold medal in The Rose Society of Ontario's test garden in 1938, is also catalogued by some forms as "RMS Queen Mary," although the latter name is not recognized by the National Rose Society (England) or by The Royal Horticultural Society.
