Courtney Page. New Roses of 1935 in England. 'Rex Anderson'. HT. (S. McGredy & Son) This is probably one of the best roses the well-known Irish firm has yet raised. The blooms are of perfect shape, very large, fragrant, and carried in loose clusters on long, stiff stems, being perhaps at their best in the autumn. The color is pale lemon-yellow, shaded gold at the bases of the petals. Its habit of growth is very vigorous and upright, and the abundant foliage is a gray-green, which combined with the dark red, thorny wood, makes the plant ideal for general garden cultivation, but yet with all the attributes of a fine exhibition rose.
