Wichuraiana Ramblers. By Dr. A. H. Williams, Vice-President N.R.S.
The wichuraiana Ramblers fall naturally into two well defined groups:
I. The Early, containing those varieties whose main flowering season is in the month of June. They are mostly hybrids of R. wichuraiana with Teas, H.T.'s, H.P.'s, and Chinas. The trusses are as a rule not large, though they may sometimes contain a dozen or more blooms. The individual flowers are often large, sometimes four or five inches across.
Early Flowering Double Varieties.
Albéric Barbier. — An old favourite, of rampant growth. The foliage is dense, of firm, dark, glossy green, almost evergreen, and not liable to mildew. The trusses are small and are produced in great profusion. The flowers are of good size and form and fully double. The buds are a rich golden yellow, and open to creamy white blooms. A number of stray blooms appear in the autumn. One of the best rambling Roses for any purpose.

The relative liability to mildew of each variety has been indicated in List 1 by a letter in brackets:   (a) signifies that the variety does not usually originate an epidemic, and if infected will respond to prompt treatment after a short time.        Alexander Hill Gray (a)

B. W. Price:      Although the true Tea Roses are seen at their best in sheltered districts and the warmer parts of our island, some of the more modern introductions such as the Cochets, Mrs Ed. Mawley, A. Hill Gray…. are possessed of a robust constitution sufficient to withstand most of our winters out of doors.

p109-2   Mrs. H. R. Darlington “Roses in Autumn”.    
Alexander Hill Gray is another very beautiful Rose, its flowers of almost perfect form are held well and their lemon tints are enhanced by the bronzy red foliage never more highly coloured than in the autumn.     

p139.  Mr. E. J. Holland “Gold Medal Roses”  
I want to point out that amongst the Gold medal Roses that are, or have been, regarded as first rate for the garden, we find ….. and A. Hill Gray.

p79  Herbert Oppenheimer, “The Timing of Roses under Glass”.     
The following varieties belong to the class in which the interval between the appearance of the bud and the development of the full bloom is a long one:  Edgar M. Burnett, Dean Hole, Lord Allenby, Edel, Mrs. Charles Russell, Mrs. George Marriott, Nellie Parker, Rev. Page-Roberts.    
With the following varieties, the interval is a short one:    A. H. Gray, Bessie Chaplin, Lord Lambourne, Mrs. Chas. Lamplough, Mrs. Henry Morse, Mrs. R. D. McClure, Muriel Wilson, William Shean.     There are, of course, a large number of intermediate varieties.   

p80  The following roses develop quickly to the bud stage:    A. H. Gray, Edgar M. Burnett, Constance Casson, Dean Hole, Mabel Morse and Mrs. Campbell Hall.

L. Arthur Wyatt:    
Exhibition-type Teas continued to be raised, and for this reason, they tended to remain in commerce after the decorative types had been discarded.    Notable among the survivors are the famous ‘Maman Cochet’ in a colour combination not repeated until the arrival of Kordes’ Perfekta’ more than sixty years later, ‘Mme. Jules Gravereaux’ sent out as a Climbing Tea but more likely to remain a large bush in our (UK) climate, and ‘Alexander Hill Gray’, sometimes called ‘Yellow Cochet’, and honouring the Scottish laird who sold up his estates north of the border and moved to Bath for the sole purpose of growing Teas in the milder climate,  although Hill Gray himself admitted his favourite was ‘Mrs. Foley Hobbs’, raised in 1910 by a famous amateur hybridist, Dr. J. Campbell Hall.

H. R. Darlington.  A Study Of Form In The Rose. 
Alexander Hill Gray (1911), of a pale lemon yellow, is another useful bedding rose with well-formed flowers of medium size.....The most beautiful forms in this group have perhaps most nearly attained perfection of form in the Rose.    They have great delicacy of colouring and high-pointed center with lovely contour.    These may conveniently be arranged in four more or less typical groups:   (1)   The thin flower with long bud and beautifully arranged petals illustrated by Mrs. Herbert Stevens with A. H. Gray intermediate between it and the next group.     (2)  A full form, with long bud but not very wide center, e.g.  Catherine Mermet and its sports, The Bride, and Bridesmaid.    (3)  A still larger flower with more rounded and yet pointed centre, Mrs. Edward Mawley, and the two Cochets;   and (4)  The more voluptuous form of Mme. Jules Graveraux, which approaches the H.T’s.
