Undoubtedly the principal pioneer has been Mr L A Wyatt of Teddington Middlesex, a former editor of The Rose, who combines both scholarship and taste. For years he sent out lists of "Roses lost and found" from which I extracted such prime beauties as Lacharme's Charles Lefebvre (1861), an HP of superb shape in the most brilliant scarlet....

That eminent rosarian, Miss Murrell, still listed 18 HPs in her nursery catalogue.... From Miss Murrell I obtained those HPs that still thrived the best, including Baronne Prévost (1842), Reine de Violettes (1860), Empereur de Roc (1858), Fisher Holmes (1865), Gloire de Ducher (1865), Souvenir d'Alphonse Lavallée (1884), Mrs John Laing (1887), Ulrich Brunner (1882), Hugh Dickson (1905) and Ferdinand Pichard (1921).
