This beautiful pillar rose, introduced in 1918, was created by W. Paul by crossing R. bracteata with an unknown yellow Tea Rose. Mermaid is not dependably hardy in the North, but the freedom with which it produces its large, single, pale sulphur-yellow flowers and the attractive foliage make it a very desirable rose and worthy of any protection it may require in the colder parts of our country. With its many desirable attributes, including fertility, it seems strange that there are but few progeny of Mermaid worthy of mention, and these are much inferior to the parent. SEA FOAM (Paul, 1919) bears small, double, white flowers and partakes more of its Polyantha parent than it does of Mermaid. LEIPSIG (Kordes, 1939) is the result of crossing Eva with Mermaid, but the influence of the latter is again very slight. Apparently the characters of Mermaid are suppressed by those of the variety with which it is crossed, as Leipzig is a 3- to 4-foot shrub rose that bears semidouble, orange-scarlet blossoms in clusters and is recurrent in its bloom.

Crossing variety gigantea with R. moschata has produced a few varieties that are sill grown to some extent in the South. The most notable of these are Montecito, Montariosa, Lemoine and [sic] Madeleine. All produce their bloom in panicles and were originated by Dr. Franceschi of Santa Barbara, California.

Pergolese (Robert & Moreau, 1860) appeared after the Portland Roses had lost favor, and is often classed as a Hybrid Perpetual. However, it is a typical representative of the Portlands and one of the few that have survived. The blossoms are medium size, intensely fragrant, very full, and bright purplish crimson...

Radiance  (Cook, 1904)— For many years after this variety was introduced by Peter Henderson in 1908, it was the most widely distributed of all Hybrid Teas in America, and now, almost fifty years later, it is still recognized as one of the best pink varieties. Its vigor, tolerance of different climates and soils, comparative disease resistance, and large, fragrant, cameo-pink blossoms of 23 petals were directily responsible for the later popularity of the Hybrid Teas as garden plants. Radiance was the most famous of the more than 25 varieties produced by John Cook of Baltimore during nearly fifty years of breeding work, and was the result of crossing Enchanter X Cardinal, both previous Cook introductions.
