(Jan 1924) Page(s) 56. [From the article "Our Garden Roses" by J. W. Heslop Harrison] ...In England, of course, under our bleaker, duller skies, R. chinensis fails to ripen its seeds, and therefore but few of the earlier types arose here. Still, Brown's Superb Blush, Rivers' George the Fourth, Rosa Blairii No. 1 and R. Blairii No. 2 were British reared, and, with others grown on the Continent, comprised the original members of the group known seventy-five years ago as the Hybrid China Roses.
