My Roses & How I Grew Them
(1900)  Page(s) 17-18.  
 
Anna Olivier (T.).-...It is fleshpink and white, and has a long beautiful bud and dark green foliage. A strong grower and stands a little shade. I never disbud mine, and I have had huge blooms off it. Some folks say this is the best tea-rose of all.
(1900)  Page(s) 19.  
 
Beauté Inconstante (T.).-A red-orange rose. Oh! such a colour....sometimes. But inconstant-naturally, according to its name. Rather a weak grower, but one bloom will repay the growth.
(1900)  Page(s) 17.  
 
Camoens (H.T.).-A lovely pink rose, and a comfort to mix with the white ones. This is a low bushy rose, useful in autumn, and requires disbudding.
(1900)  Page(s) 8-9.  
 
Canarie. (Guillot, 1852). Canary-yellow bloom, medium-size, almost double; vigorous; very floriferous; a fully blooming shrub is very impressive.
(1900)  Page(s) 19-20.  
 
Corinna (T.).-A pale flesh-pink rose, with deeper rose centre. Blooms generously and is strong.
(1900)  Page(s) 19.  
 
Doctor Grill (T.).-This is a weak grower, but such a pretty rose! Pale pink, and yellow, and rose-colour smallish flowers.
(1900)  Page(s) 21.  
 
Duke of Edinburgh (H.P.).-A very bright red rose, certainly first-rate and grows well.
(1900)  Page(s) 19.  
 
Etoile de Lyon (T.).-Such a beautiful yellow rose! One of my best ; but then others find it difficult to grow. You must disbud it very hard. It has lovely brown foliage, and in dry weather is most satisfactory. But sometimes it will not open its buds. I should call it an obstinate rose.
(1900)  Page(s) 16.  
 
G. Nabonand (T.).-Some say this is the best tea-rose of all, a little like Gloire de Dijon, but gentler and a better colour. It is very strong, never suffers from mildew, and grows high.
(1900)  Page(s) 18.  
 
Grace Darling (H.T.).-A pink rose, and....yes, I do like it. Some people rave about this rose, but I hardly know why, for it loses its leaves and is apt to annoy the rose grower ; but perhaps the fault lies with me.
