Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses
 
(1949)  Page(s) 13.  
 
"BERTHA* - another rose of the same ancestry [Royal Robe]. Very large single flowers, delicate pink, up and down an erect stem like hollyhocks, and full of charm."
(1949)  
 
"BETTY BLAND - Dr. F.L. Skinner's well known hybrid of Blanda, with the same attractive red stems in winter. Not very thorny, tall and erect in growth; will attain eight feet in moist, fertile soils. Flower-bud small, but flower of fair size, double pink, with a deeper pink heart, "perfectly delicious" as it opens. Completely hardy. May suffer a little from orange-rust some years. An excellent hedge rose, except that it suckers freely. This rose is second only to Hansa in popularity throughhout the prairie provinces."

"Blanc Double de Coubert - our best white Rugosa hybrid, not as hardy as Hansa, but adequately hardy with merely snow cover. The flower is more than semi-double, pure white, of good form, and very freely produced throughout the growing season."

"CARMENETTA - an Ottawa hybrid between rubrifolia and rugosa, with highly colored foliage. Grows 12 feet high, nearly hardy enough for the prairies, but not quite, and difficult to protect on account of its vigor."

"DOROTHY EVANS* - completely thornless, small, pale pink, semi-double or better; really a hybrid, but in effect a semi-double strain of Blanda. Fertile and useful for breeding."

"DOUBLE YELLOW SCOTCH - a paler yellow than Harison's Yellow, dwarfer, and with a finer and denser growth. Needs snow cover in our climate, but usually dwarf enough to get it."

Percy Wright Catalogue - Hardy and Semi-Hardy Roses - ca 1949 p. 9

"F.J. Grootendorst - a Rugosa-Polyantha hybrid, flowers small with scalloped edges, which gives it the appearance of a carnation. In fact, it is often called the Carnation Rose. It blooms in clusters, very freely, with up to 60 flowers on one small branch, and is especially profuse in blooming in late summer and early fall. The flowers are deep pink approaching red, the perfect "buttonhole" rose. This rose advertises my rose gardens better than any other rose I have, and makes more sales for me."

"FELICITY* - a hybrid of Suffulta of our own raising. Flower very small and attractive. suggests a dwarf Betty Bland, intermediate in stature between Suffulta and Betty Bland."

"George Will - double soft pink, flower of fair size, everblooming, but not as free with fall bloom as the better varieties of the pure rugosa hybrids. It is one-quarter acicularis, the arctic rose, and one-half hybrid Tea, but seems best classified as a rugosa hybrid. This is one of the proud originations of Dr. F.L. Skinner, of Dropmore, Manitoba."

"Golden Altai* - Altaica by Harison's Yellow again, like the Altai rose in every respect except that the flowers are a cream approaching pale yellow."
