PROBLEMS ANSWERED
MRS. T. CRADDOCK (Dutton-Park) sent a shoot bearing young buds of a rose and desires to know if these belong to the thornless rose referred to on this page a little time back. She states that she can pick roses from the two bushes of this variety in her garden without getting thorns in her hands. Reply: The rose is evidently the yellow-flowering variety, Mrs. Dudley Cross, a robust grower and one that has the advantage of having almost thornless stems, for although the grower states that her plant is thornless, there are at times a thorn or two on plants, as is also the case with Alexander Hill Gray, another yellow-flowering rose of similar character.

p81-3  H. George Simmons, The Rose in Tropical Queensland.    
It is a matter for regret that the introduction of new varieties of the Rose, while indicating definite improvement in many directions, does mean eventually the loss of many old favourites which gained favour by sheer merit.    Such roses as ……. and Alex. Hill Gray …. and others, mostly Tea sorts, developed in our tropical climate to an extent rarely duplicated by the newer H.T.’s. 

p99-4  C. S. Hungerford, Rose Problems of February, 1932.     
…..Alex. Hill Grey you are ….due for potash, as you are …. pining to fail me each autumn with mildew.
