Description. One of his fifty favorite roses. Parentage: 'Charlotte Armstrong' (a red Hybrid Tea) x 'Floradora' (a red Floribunda). One of the world's greatest roses. A grandiflora in the US, a floribunda in the UK. Very tall and upright, it can exceed 8 feet, with its flowers mainly very high up. It can be restrained to some extent and persuaded to bush out more by what might be called differential pruning. Do not, in other words, treat all the shoots with equal severity, but cut back a few hard each year and others less drastically. Blooms are carried sometime singly but more often in sizable trusses. Not fragrant.

The Queen Elizabeth Description... it was so successful and so different that it could not be properly classified as either Hybrid Tea or Floribunda. It was a totally new sort of rose, with flowers not quite big enough for one class and not clustered enough for the other... The flower is pink with good form, fine foliage and quite free of disease... named for Queen Elizabeth II at the beginning of her reign...
