George M. Taylor. The Provincial Show, Saltaire, July 10-11, 1923. Every year is notable for the pre-eminence of some particular variety of Rose. At Saltaire the Queen of the Ball - if I may put it that way - was Mrs. George Norwood. Every grower who staged flowers of this Rose had it in superb condition. The colour, an exquisite tone of pink, was ethereal in its loveliness; the formation was as perfect as the most meticulous judge could wish for; and the fragrance was entrancing. If 'Mrs. George Norwood' would only add a cubit to its stature what a superbly beautiful variety it would be. Colour, fragrance, formation - all the virtues - it has in abundance, but alas, it has no vigour. It was the Rose of the show at Saltaire.
