... M. Leenders and Company, who came to the front in 1908 with the famous pink rose Jonkheer J. L. Mock. That rose had a great vogue in America as a cut-flower variety and then escaped to the garden. But I never met one who could grow it to perfection outdoors, and in all my experience I have yet to see a good full-open bloom. A leading American catalogue described it thus:
A massive rose of marvelous substance, noted for its great size, doubleness and strong coloring. It is likely to ball in all but the most favorable weather, and the midsummer bloom is rather shy. Nevertheless it is a marvelous rose in some gardens.
...I do not know of any other rose, except perhaps Los Angeles, which has held its sway so long in spite of being an admitted failure almost everywhere.

Some of us old timers may remember an early Van Fleet Hybrid Tea, Magnafrano (1900). For years it was sold on its own roots and it remained a typical Hybrid Tea. I budded it on Multiflora for breeding purposes and I got plants of Druschki exuberance, thus emphasizing its seed parent, Magna Charta. It is from one of these plants that I bred the climber Virginia.
