p8.  My other great thrill in my search for roses was during the Group visit in May 1992 to Professor Fineschi’s rosarium at Cavriglia in Italy.  'Killarney’ and ‘Caroline Testout’ were planted in sequence somewhere near the centre of the Cavriglia rosarium in the area devoted to roses introduced late in the last century….

Charles Quest-Ritson.  The Hybrid Tea ‘Mrs. W. J Grant’.
p12. Three of its best offspring were ‘Killarney’ [1898], Bessie Brown [1899] and Liberty [1909]. 
'Killarney’ was sent out as a pale pink garden rose but prized in England as a show variety.  Its hardiness made it popular in New England, where it also became such a successful cut flower variety that it ousted ‘American Beauty’ from its 30-year reign as top of the glasshouse league.
p13.  W. J. Grant was a leading amateur rosarian and a Vice-President of the National Rose society of Great Britain….He singled out for particular praise the three seedlings of ‘Mrs. W. J. Grant’ which we have mentioned above:  ‘Killarney’ (“always good, in pink and silver sheen’).

When Killarney HT (A. Dickson, 1898) “came out,” its lovely informality gave it high acclaim.   It still stands as a standard rose of its sparkling pink type, and has been carried on with a brighter color in Killarney Brilliant.   Then came in Killarney Queen and Killarney Double White.  (Budlong, 1912).   All of these varieties retain the bud-beauty and informality of the original open flower.
