Rosenelfe (Hybrid polyantha) is attractive from the moment its clustered pointed buds spring into existence. The delightful miniature perfectly-formed high-centred, double, pale-pink flowers are borne in clusters with quite long individual stems. Vigour is self-evident in the erect and branching growth, clad with shining light green foliage. Kordes 1937...Slightly fragrant...June-September. Hardy.

W. G. Randell, Some Alister Clark Roses in a Perth Garden. Diana Allen may well be called dainty, so alluring is her formation. The colour reminds me of Picture. The bud on forming is that of a salmon colour, but this gradually lightens to a rose pink. In the early stages the colour may be described as a delicate flesh tint, touched with salmon pink. Diana is certainly something different, and to see her is to want her. The rosarian who has grown Rosenelfe will probably see a resemblance in Diana.

Rosenelfe, of my own raising, is stealing the hearts of all rose friends. It is a Floribunda with the beauty of the hybrid tea. The clusters of 30 or more open blooms, 3 inches across, are a bicolor pink.
