This must be one of the unluckiest roses in history. Acclaimed as great, and ancestor to over 10,000 others, it soon died out in its home land, and is now barely to be found anywhere. I'd be hard pressed to name another 20th century rose that established such a fantastic track record while headed towards extinction.

Mass. Experiment Station Bulletin 183, page 12 (May 1918) Rose Canker and its Control P. J. Anderson Only roses under glass are known to be affected. Some varieties, e.g., Hoosier Beauty, are more susceptible than others, but there is yet no evidence that any are immune. Massey (1917) observed the disease on Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia, Hadley, Russell, Sunburst, American Beauty and many seedlings. It has been reported only from the northern and eastern United States, but closer observation will probably show that it has a much wider range.
