Book (1947) Page(s) 35. p35. Bertram Park. Mrs. Henry Bowles.....has very little scent but then I would rather have a really beautiful flower with little scent than all the floppy General MacArthurs in the world.
p67. Vera Day, Folkestone. Soil Variety and Colour. I have yet to find a locality where General MacArthur will not grow, and if I could only possess one rose, I think it would be that grand old favourite. Strong growing, good tempered, perpetual flowering, good foliage; colour, scent and shape of buds perfect, keeping its colour until the petals fall, this surely is the nearest approach to everyone's Rose, for so many people's ideal Rose is a crimson, scented one.
