'Elizabeth Arden' is very popular in Victoria, but it seems that it is not grown any longer anywhere else.

p35.  Dr. A. S. Thomas, Victoria:
I am still seeking a white for show purposes with the form, size and petal substance of Patrick Anderson, Editor McFarland or President Hoover...  Elizabeth Arden is so big and solid that it nearly always needs to be covered and I never cover any blooms. 

p110.  Mr. B. Adams, Brighton, Vic. Six Indispensables
Elizabeth Arden is about the best white. Plant it in a semi-shaded position.

W. Allender, Preston, Vic.  Favourite Roses.
One of the great Roses, under Victorian conditions, is, in my opinion, Elizabeth Arden. A pure, white, high-centred bloom of about 40 petals, it is an exhibition Rose of the highest order. Its gloriously reflexed petals, plus its dazzling whiteness and faultless formation, make it a Rose among Roses. It is reasonably good in growth and foliage, but a little more perfume would enhance its good qualities.

Mr. Douglas Toogood, Box Hill, Victoria. 
While on the subject of colours and perfumes there is a very fine white Rose, with a rich fragrance, that I wish to mention. In some quarters there seems to be a prejudice against white for garden purposes, but Elizabeth Arden will, I believe, become an established favourite. It is a Rose of good exhibition form, rather more solid in constitution than Mrs. Herbert Stevens, yet of graceful appearance, and, if well grown, is a glistening white. It has recently been prominent on the exhibition benches.
