Emma Wright. The buds of this rose are  a most attractive orange.  It has proved difficult enough to produce a one coloured Hybrid Tea in golden yellow, but it is even more so in orange.  The influence of the old China Rose is strongly in favour of mixed and changing colours. About this time we see the orange colours develop; McCredy's had this charming rose in 1918, its buds perfectly set against dark leaves, it's flowers unfortunately opening pale and semi-double.

Etoile de Hollande One of the most popular red roses of the 1920s and 1930s, the colour was dark, the scent rich, the growth clean-cut, healthy, good to see. The only disappointment was that the buds opened too quickly.

Fritz Nobis Taller. Pink. Midsummer. Perfume 5.  Hips 5. ****
This lovely plant is no Sweet Briar in appearance, nor are its leaves scented; but it has as its parents 'Joanna Hill' x 'Magnifica', and I place it here [with Eglanteria Hybrids] for its father's sake. When in full bloom, it is one of the most handsome shrubs in the world; the double pink flowers with the crinkled petals stand on the bush as if it were a flower shop. Their size accords well with the large plant; it is the nearest we have to Hybrid Teas on a large shrub, but more by the width of flower than by depth.  The leaves are dark and healthy, the hips round and red.  Raised by Wilhelm Kordes, and introduced in 1940,

p82.  Golden Emblem.  Raised by Sam McGredy, straight from the Pernet-Ducher line, namely 'Madame Melanie Soupert' x 'Constance', The latter being one of Joseph Pernet-Ducher's own seedlings from 'Rayon d'Or'. This brilliant yellow came on a stubby, thorny plant, with some of 'Rayon d'Or's die-back trouble. It's flowers were lustrous, so beautiful that the plant had to be grown. It was introduced in 1917.

p83.  Now that I have unintentionally linked McGredy and Easlea, I remember a strange remark the latter made when writing of McCredy's 'Golden Emblem' to the effect that if the raiser could produce it on a really good plant, and with one or two more improvements, 'he may be sure of lasting fame, if that is any good to him'.
