Killarney A.Dickson & Sons, 1898; Sent out, I believe, by Messrs. Dickson as a garden Rose, this variety has proved itself to be, except in very hot weather, a show Rose of great merit.  It is a good grower, flowering freely in summer and autumn.  The blooms are very large, of quite first-class pointed shape, and the colour a lovely shade of pale pink.  The petals are long and stout, but there are not enough of them, the centre being badly filled.  As long as it holds its half-open shape, which with ordinary precautions it will do very fairly under general conditions, it is as fine a show Rose as one would wish to see, the great petals standing up stiffly around the centre point;  but when the point goes the Rose is gone too, though as the colour is lasting it is still a decorative flower.  For show purposes it should be liberally treated and grown as a Standard.  Subject to mildew.

1910 Reverend A. Foster-Melliar “The Book of the Rose” 4th edition .
Niphetos (Bougère, 1844) This rose is a good instance of what is termed “free” growth, i.e. neither long nor stout, but branching and generally growing somewhere. The foliage is good and not much liable to mildew, but the blooms will not stand rain. This old Rose has attained a very great reputation for its free-flowering qualities and its purity of colour. I do not know how many thousand feet run of glasshouses have been maintained for the purpose of growing the Rose which Mons. Bougère, the raiser, appropriately named Niphetos (“snowy”), but I apprehend the figures would very much have astonished him could he have known them when he issued it, and he would perhaps have wished to attach his own name to it instead of to the much less valuable production (Bougère, known in Australia and elsewhere as Lord Tarquin) of twelve years before.
