Some All-Canadian Roses
by Fred Blakeney, Victoria, B.C.
H.M. Eddie & Sons Ltd., 4100 S.W. Marine Drive, Vancouver 13, B.C., have produced far more Hybrid Tea roses of Canadian origin than anyone else in Canada. They have been hybridizing for over thirty years, and have produced eighteen roses in B.C. as follows in alphabetical order:
"Gordon Eddie", Hybrid Tea. This fine rose was introduced in 1949. It is large with a high centre, fragrant, a deep apricot with lighter edges. The colour of this rose is different from other apricot roses and is especially fine in the fall. It received the National gold medal in 1950.

W. J. W. Sanday,  Rose Reflections in Britain, 1958.  
Gordon Eddie, a very uncertain rose, was infinitely better than I have seen it for several years and most of these pastel shades seemed to appreciate the absence of thrips in any quantity as in a dry summer.
