Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Madame Edouard Herriot. Hybrid Tea. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Sparkling buds of coral-red and orange, opening to large, semi-double flowers of indescribably brilliant orange-red and salmon. Plant is moderately strong, very free flowering, and requires usual protection against black-spot.
One of the most brilliantly colored Roses known, although rather lacking in petals. Its stems are not always strong, and its color fades but it holds its place as the best of its type.

p69-5 Another class of rose which has worked a revolution in our gardens is the Pernet group. 'Rayon d’Or' had appeared in 1910, and at the International Exhibition of 1912 'Mme. Edouard Herriot' received the Daily Mail Cup and was introduced into this country in the following year. The mixture of pink and yellow or orange in its colouring was very striking. It at once became popular, and perhaps it may be regarded as chiefly responsible for the advance in colour which formed the characteristic of the new Roses of the subsequent decade.

p71-8 …little or no perfume.

p120-7 'Mme. Edouard Herriot'. Pern. Pernet-Ducher, 1913. Six votes. The well-known “Daily Mail” rose. This Rose makes a sturdy medium-sized bush, very branching and short-jointed, with very thorny stems. The foliage is rather small, close and glossy, not much affected by mildew, which, however, often attacks the stems and thorns, and it is rather liable to black spot. It flowers early, and though flowering in bursts, is fairly continuous through the season. The colour is a striking shade of terra cotta and orange passing to strawberry Rose. The flowers are produced in a loose bunch at the top of the stem, and open successively, if they are disbudded, better flowers are obtained, but the bed does not appear so continuously in flower. Though the stems are stout, the flower stalks are very weak, and do not support the flower, a great defect in a decorative Rose. The flowers are rather small, but tolerably full, and of good form in the bud, and when just opening. The petals rather thin, and some find a fruity fragrance which to me is imperceptible. It has high decorative value by reason of its fine colour and fair shape, but the flowers open rapidly, and do not last well when cut. It is rather a difficult Rose to stage unless wiring is resorted to, which I should like to see prohibited. In sunshine the flowers passes somewhat rapidly to a shade of pink, which may become somewhat dull, and it is best in cool weather, but does not stand rain specially well. It makes an excellent bedding Rose from its close habit and freedom of flower, and makes a good standard, but if this is not pruned rather closely when young, it soon becomes leggy, with bare stems flowering only near the top.

p121-8…. 'Independence Day'….flowers being carried like those of Mme. Edouard Herriot in a loose head at the top of a strong stem, but unlike those of that Rose, they are carried erect.
