 E. G. Hill.  Roses in the United States. 
The four Killarneys, 'White Killarney', 'Double White Killarney', 'Killarney Queen' and the original 'Killarney' hold a very large proportion of the space allotted to forcing Roses the country over, with 'Double White' and 'Killarney Queen' entering their final test the present season.  'Double Killarney' has been discarded because of its faded colour, and 'Pierson's Dark Killarney' is too slow in growth;  if the splendid growth of the former could be combined with the glorious colour of the latter, we should have little left to desire in a red Rose.

Killarney H.T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1898)     A sport from this Rose, with an additional row or rows of petals, has recently been introduced under the rather ugly name of 'Double Pink Killarney'.  If it opens as well as its parent it should be an acquisition.

p2.  One of the most interesting incidents in present day rose culture is the sporting habit of the Killarney family; usually when roses have sported, it has been in color only, or with a hardly perceptible change of foliage, but... Double Pink Killarney is a grand grower, an ideal Killarney, in all but color, which is lighter than the parent...

p7.  Double Pink Killarney  (Alex. Scott)  Stronger in growth than the type, but lighter in color : the flower is considerably fuller.
