McGredy's Coral, HT. (McGredy, 1936), has a very definite disadvantage as regards the name. This year four new sorts are listed prefixed with the raiser's name, and when added to the already too long list of similarly styled Roses, confusion is assured. All credit will be given unstintingly to the firm's undoubted craftsmanship in raising so many new Roses, but similar skill in selecting short, appropriate, different names would considerably increase the Rose world's appreciation. 'McGredy's Coral' is a good grower and a particularly attractive colour. It might be called a much improved cherry, and with 35 petals it is distinctly promising.

p112.  R. Marion Hatton.  An American Opinion of the World's New Roses
McGredy's Coral, unlike most of McGredy's recent introductions, is a miserable plant. The colour is coral-pink. We can do without it.

p115.  Allan A. Brundrett.  A Victorian Review of the Season's Novelties.
McGredy's Coral, H.T. (S. McGredy and Sons). This variety does belong to the fewer petalled class, having from twenty to twenty-five petals, but the blooms are so perfectly shaped that excellent exhibition types are often produced. The colour, which is quite unique, can best be described as coral pink, overlaid salmon.
