'Hill Top' rose References
Book (Feb 1997) Page(s) 12. [The author found this rose in Wayside's 1958 catalogue] I like Hill Top, which cannot be found in all rose catalogues -- loosely rolled buff petals shading to pink -- and which has done well for me in a cold climate...
Book (1949) p41. Dr. A. S. Thomas. Let Us Take Stock - Old and New Hill Top (1 plant, 2 years; 2 plants, 1 year). Obviously an Ophelia relative. Resembles John C. M. Mensing more than the other members of this large family. Worth watching. Good growth.
p141. Mr. C. Richardson, Yarraville From the same raiser as Edith Wilkie, we also have Hilltop. They are sisters as both are Joanna Hill crossed with Mrs. Verschuren and in form and growth are similar. Hilltop, however, has more of the buff shades.
Book (1948) Page(s) 23. Harry H. Hazlewood. The New Roses of 1947-48. Hill Top, HT. (J. H. Hill) ('Joanna Hill' x 'Mrs. Verschuren'). Through 'Joanna Hill', this variety inherits many of the 'Ophelia' characters of long shapely buds, vigorous healthy growth and freedom of flower. The blooms carry 35 to 40 petals which are reddish gold on the outside with an inner face of yellow. It is a good garden exhibition type and will be much sought after when known.
