David Ruston, South Australia. Roses of Distinction. 
R. laevigata excels in the drier parts of Australia. It, too, is evergreen and a rampant grower which never gets any disease if in full sun—in shade it can mildew. Its shiny bright green foliage makes it most attractive even when not in bloom, but when the three inch single white flowers with golden stamens on great arching canes appear it has no equal in the garden at a time when flowering peaches, apples, wistaria and magnolias are at their best.

Rev. George M. A. Schoener, Breeding Better Roses. ....Eliminating mildew seems also possible through a new strain of hybrid Laevigata roses. Heretofore it was claimed that R. laevigata, better known as Cherokee, does not make seed, and that other species and types would not take its pollen. Such is not the case, as hundreds of combinations were made with Laevigata as seed-bearer, using pollen from hybrid teas, teas, hybrid perpetuals, and pernetianas. Pollen of Laevigata used on Gigantea has proved that even the Gigantea foliage can be improved, making it much more rigid and glossy, a sure preventive of mildew.

Mrs,. H. F. Crisler, Jackson Rose Society. The 'Cherokee rose' that grows wild in such abundance, is utterly unfitted for use about the home. It is a nuisance even to the farmers, who dread getting it on their places, as it has ruined much fine pasture-land and is almost impossible to eradicate. It puts out underground roots that start offsets 20 feet from the main plant.
