Shrub Roses and Climbing Roses; With Hybrid Tea and Floribunda Roses

'Elizabeth Harkness'. For me one of the most beautiful of the more recent Hybrid Teas. It has large flowers of shapely spiral formation, and its colour is ivory-white delicately touched with pink and amber. It can be affected by damp weather but, at its best, it produces buds of pristine perfection. The growth is upright, bushy, of medium height and strength with medium green foliage. Light fragrance. It is particularly fine when grown under glass. Height 2 and 1/2 feet. The breeding rather surprisingly is 'Red Dandy' x 'Piccadilly'. Raised by Harkness (UK), introduced 1969.

Eos  This is a hybrid. R. moyesii x 'Magnifica', the latter being a self-sown seedling of the Sweet Brier 'Lucy Ashton'.  It bears flat, almost single flowers of coral-red along its branches, providing a brilliant effect.The growth is rather gaunt and bare at the base.  Height 12 ft.  There is rarely any fruit.  Bred by Ruys (U.S.A.), introduced 1950.

'Francesca'. A large, graceful shrub of 6ft. in height, with broad arching growth. It is well clothed with foliage, the individual leaves being long and pointed. The long pointed buds of slim, Tea Rose elegance open to quite large, semi-double flowers which are nicely poised in well spaced sprays and coloured apricot-yellow fading to pale yellow. Strong Tea Rose scent. From ‘Danae’ x ‘Sunburst’. Raised by Pemberton (U.K.), introduced 1922.

'Glory of Edzell'. This attractive rose is always particularly welcome, as it is one of the first of all to flower. It has single, clear pink flowers that pale towards the centre. A sprightly little shrub of 5ft.

Home Sweet Home Climbing.  I am not well acquainted with this early Hybrid Tea Rose as a Climber, but as a bush the flowers are so charming that I think it is worthy of inclusion here.  Its flowers are held rather too erectly to be of much use high up, but if it is trained at  a low level it might prove most effective.  Fragrant, purest pink, cupped flowers.  Height 10 ft.  Bush bred by Wood & Ingram (U.K.);  we do not know who discovered the climbing form.
