A 1926 reference is interesting: ... some of the descendants of 'Red-Letter Day' may be still better. The most promising are K of K. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1917), Red Cross (A. Dickson & Sons, 1916), Red Star (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1918), and Hawlmark Crimson (A. Dickson & Sons, 1920).

It has been suggested that "Bishop's Lodge Linton Boy" is K of K.

It appears that the variety being sold as Kitchener of Khartoum is incorrect .It is a single according to the older sources or at most a semi double. Does anyone know a source that fits that description?

The photo of 'K of K' in The Rose Annual of 1917 (England), the year the rose was introduced, shows two blooms, both of them clearly semi-double with 12 or 13 petals.
Of all the sources listed in References here, only one (1925) describes it as single. All others describe it as semi-single or semi-double.
