"Essay on Hybridisation" By Alex. Dickson, Acting Director of Alex. Dickson & Sons, Ltd., Royal Irish Nurseries, Newtownards, County Down.

Out of many hundreds of crosses with this rose [La France], only in one single instance did we succeed in making it produce seed, but we feel that the labour we spent was amply repaid, as the ultimate result of it was the introduction of Mrs. W. J. Grant, known to you as Belle Siebrecht, in our opinion one of the finest roses in cultivation, at least from the Britishers' standpoint.

In this group we might mention ... Countess of Derby ...

Alex Dickson, Essay on Hybridisation.
After many years of continuous experiment on various lines we have at last been able to produce what has long been sought for, namely, a yellow Tea of good size and colour with the vigour and hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetual.
