'Margaret Anne Baxter'. Hybrid Tea. 3 – 4 feet., Thirty-five years old... and the most beautiful white Hybrid Tea rose I know, even among recent AARS winners. Only a robust, healthy plant with leathery foliage could produce the enormous blooms of Margaret Anne. Pure white buds open slowly, allowing time for each beautiful phase. And the Grande Finale! ... a full blown flower of 75 to 100 petals with a delightful faint flesh-tan at the very center....and scented.

'Margaret Ann Baxter'. This is a very fragrant and very double as well as fairly strong growing white, and almost an H.P. but completely recurrent. It has a slight trait to come with split centers after the fashion of some of its predecessors of when that was considered the proper form of the Rose to have a quartered center but however I have enough customers who don’t think in terms of modern day style to want a big growing everblooming fragrant white rose that is very double.

A few other roses, including 'Princess Margaret Rose', 'Dickson’s Perfection' and Margaret Anne Baxter seemed entirely out of place in such brilliant company. They had little to commend them in the way of colour and their growth and flowering left much to be desired.

This latter is a lovely, glistening white faintly tinted pink in center of bloom; buds are well formed and produced on strong stems and sweetly scented. The foliage is good and healthy and the variety has few prickles.

Bertram Park, Middlesex. ….the white varieties. Here we have a choice between ‘Mme. Jules Bouché’ and ‘Margaret Ann Baxter’, both subject to damage in wet weather; Madame is less affected than Margaret, who did not show up at all well during the wet weather of the past Summer: last year she was perfect. Madame is the taller of the two, and should reach a regular height of three feet. She is very fragrant and free flowering, but must be severely disbudded to obtain individual quality blooms. Margaret is very regular in height at about two feet, and free with rather larger blooms than the former.
