B. E. Cant. Colchester. Stocks and Their Influence. It is believed by some Rosarians that many varieties (hybrid teas principally), when budded on the seedling briar obtain a firmer hold upon that stock than any other. I think this certainly is the case with a few varieties, notably ‘Bessie Brown’, ‘Gustave Regis’, the Tea, ‘Hon. Edith Gifford’ and possibly a few others.

Roses in War Time. ….But tend and cherish in a place of honour in your garden ‘Gustave Regis’ – what more lovely than its just opened flower with the dew upon its petals on a sunny morning in June. It is beautiful always – the bud, the full bloom, even its wide opened petals. A bowl of it should always be in the house, sweet, delicate, exquisite in form – a flower to live with, a flower for the bride to carry on her wedding day, a flower to strew the graves of those whom the gods have loved and who have died young. Its growth may be a little stiff and ungainly – what a pity that it has not the grace and freedom of ‘Gruss an Teplitz’….

Rose Gustave Regis. - For growing as a large bush or rather low pillar there are few better roses than this Hybrid Tea. It has a vigorous habit, and flowers very freely when once established. The bush shown in the illustration is over five feet high, and has been in its present position three summers. The long beautifully shaped buds are nankeen yellow in colour, this fading to cream as the blooms expand, when they are only semi-double. it is a splendid garden Rose, and one of the best varieties for button-holes. It was raised by M. Pernet-Ducher, and put into commerce in 1890.

We can also supply the undernoted, but in our opinion much better varieties are to be found described in the preceding pages, and we think these can very well be done without.

H. R. Darlington. Autumn Flowering Pillar Roses. ‘Gustave Regis’ HT. (Pernet fils Ducher, 1890). This is another Rose in which it is well to start with a strong, carefully selected plant, but for a different reason. There is no dwarf form here to which it may revert, but unless a strong plant is selected the growth will be disappointingly slow, and when once planted, save generous treatment, there is not much one can do to help it, for it resents hard pruning, and even the first year after planting light pruning should be the rule. Mrs. Weber says it sulks if pruned hard and I have found it object also to tying down, dying back in a curious manner. Old stems that have ceased to base well, however, must be removed occasionally. Given a good plant that starts well it is not a hard Rose to grow, and is full of flower summer and autumn. The nankeen yellow blossoms are nicely shaped, and not being very full open freely, while the buds are particularly charming. As the buds open in succession the faded blooms should be removed as they go over, to prevent their damping and spoiling those coming on. It is a little but not badly subject to mildew, and black spot is sometimes troublesome; also it loses its foliage rather early in autumn. Still it is one of the best autumnal Roses, and is so charming for cutting that such defects as it possesses may well be overlooked. From what has gone before it will be realised that the best of soil and occasional watering with liquid manure are of great importance in the early years of this Rose’s life as a Pillar Rose. When once well formed and established it seems to go on satisfactorily even though the soil has become relatively poor.

p106-1 H. Garnett Rolt. On Pegging Down Roses. I rarely see that most beautiful Rose ‘Gustave Regis’ “pegged” down. A bed of five or seven plants, one being in the centre, and so trained, makes a glorious sight, and is much more floriferous than when treated any other way. This Rose will throw sufficient new wood to peg down fresh shoots each year and discard the old wood.
