p135 ....In half-a-dozen summers many of the Hybrid Bourbon, Hybrid China and Gallican Roses will reach the eaves of an ordinary dwelling, as I have proved with 'Charles Lawson' and with 'Coupe d'Hebe'....

p142, Most beautiful of the mural Roses are some of those varieties which are classified as Hybrid Bourbon and Hybrid china, such as 'Blairii 2', 'Charles Lawson', 'Coupe d'Hebe', 'Paul Perras' and 'Paul Ricaut, described in the succeeding chapter. Their longitude and latitude, their abundant and lovely blooms, their large and glossy leaves, suppress our regrets that these Roses have not the symmetry or the endurance which is required for exhibition, and that their effloresence is as brief as it is beautiful.

p149. 'Charles Lawson', a hybrid from the Isle de Bourbon Rose, makes a noble specimen, producing magnificent blooms of a bright glowing pink abundantly in all seasons. This glorious Rose well deserves all those adjectives expressive of beauty which, I begin to fear, my readers will regard as wearisome and vain repetitions.

Edward Luckhurst. ....Another pair of that grand old Hybrid Bourbon Rose 'Charles Lawson', which are also now in full bloom, admirably illustrate another old method of Rose culture out of the beaten track. Each of them was planted in the centre of a small circular bed of Roses, and when they became established both threw up a stout annual growth 8 or 9 feet high, consisting of several single branches springing from the stem near the ground. Instead of shortening them at the next pruning season the old growth was removed, and each young branch bent carefully outwards and downwards till the top was within a foot or so of the edge of the bed, where they were fastened to pegs as nearly equidistant as possible all round the bed, with the delightful result of a regular mound of Roses, for plenty of flowers come all along each branch from the tips near the ground upwards. I know a very large old tree of this Rose covering the front of a house in Uckfield that at this season of the year is so laden with flowers as to be one of the sights of the town. I intend trying a few of it as pillars as I doubt not has often been done, for it has long been a general favourite, and at one time it was in high favour with exhibitors, hardly a winning stand of cut Roses being without one of it.
