Pauline M. N. Jackson.  Notes on Rose Lady Gay
My garden is only a small one, but I am a keen Amateur.  The specimen Rose illustrated is the result of a cutting I took, when a schoolgirl, about 15 years ago, from a plant [of] Lady Gay in my garden, and each year, I think it has grown in beauty.  In the late Autumn, I always cut away all the growths that have flowered, and only allow the new wood made during the Summer to remain for the following years bloom. I was, however, unable to do that in 1928, as the plant seemed to give up all its strength to the blooming, and did not throw a single new shoot.  This year the tree was so laden with huge clusters of blossoms, that I had to add extra supports to keep it in position. The soil is clay, and 2 feet below the surface, heavy clay. However, I manage to lighten it considerably by keeping the soil loose, especially during May and June.  In October of this year, I gathered a large bunch of blooms, which were much deeper in colour, and, in many respects more beautiful than those of the Summer, owing, no doubt, to the fact that the sun was not strong enough at this time of the year to feed the blooms.

Quant aux rosiers grimpants dits à grande végétation (Rosa Wichuraïana) non remontants, mais dont plusieus variétés fleurissant quelquefois à l'automne, sur la côte marocaine: entr'autres Lady Gay, Hiawatha, La Perle, Lady Godiva, Casimir Moullé; atteignant des proportions énormes, font des pousses de dix à quinze mètres dans l'année si le terrain leur convient...Souvent leur floraison de fin d'Avril et Mai dure peu, est souvent brulée par nos premières chaleurs, et nous avon remarqué que cette floraison a moins de durée qu'en France.
