(1971) Page(s) 75, 138. Page 75: [Poulsen] started the polyantha roses, the type that gave rise to the floribundas, the most popular type today. 'Poulsen's Pearl' is typical of that early type. Poulsen's was the dominant firm with those roses in the thirties. 'Else Poulsen', a very famous rose, is still grown after all this time... 'Else Poulsen', 'Karen Poulsen', 'Kirsten Poulsen' are all roses named after the girls of the family... Page 138: [Considered by Sam McGredy to be one of the great roses of our time...] The year 1924 saw the arrival of 'Else Poulsen', the first of the true Poulsen polyanthas. Very free-flowering and very frost-hardy, it is still grown all over the world and is seen in large quantities in Denmark and Scandinavia generally and in the U.S.A. It is not fragrant and is rather a harsh pink by present standards.
