Wildwood: A very pretty decorative in the fancy class. Foliage was clean, but growth very moderate this year.

p85.  Mr. Frank Mason.  New Zealand Roses. 
Wildwood has not made the growth I would like, but the blooms are an improvement on Talisman. It flowers freely, but here again the weather was too much for it.

Harry H. Hazlewood. The New Roses of 1940
Wildwood (Howard and Smith) This is the only variety justifying the title of "fancy" this year. The healthy light green, glossy foliage and general habit of growth suggest 'Talisman' parentage. The semi double blooms of 25 large broad petals show very lovely clear colour of yellow, salmon and darker shades. It is a definite acquisition to the decorative class, while it promises well as a bedder.
