Mr. And Mrs. C. A. Homan.  The New Roses in Queensland. 
Mary Margaret McBride. was awarded the A.A.R.S. title in 1943. We have only one plant of this variety and therefore must be conservative in our criticism as yet. The colour of the blooms is a lovely coral pink with shades of apricot, and the shape is fairly good. It has exhibited fair growth but has not been over free with its blooms.

p126.  Herbert C. Swim. An Evaluation of the newer Roses in the United States
Grande Duchess Charlotte, from Ketten Brothers in Luxembourg, and Mary Margaret McBride from the late Doctor Jean Nicholas, both A.A.R.S. winners in 1942, have unique features that make them worthwhile. Grande Duchess Charlotte presents a new colour in Roses and is particularly well adapted to the cooler and more moist areas of the United States, such as the Pacific Coast. Mary Margaret McBride, on the other hand, is outstanding for perfection of form in buds and open flowers in the warmer inland areas of the United States.

Dr. Nicholas' Mary MeBride, which I told about last year, leads this season's advertising and will be in many gardens, in spite of which I have little to add to last year's report.

R. Marion Hatton.  The World's Novelties
Jackson and Perkins, as usual, have a number of new ones, several of their own and a number of importations. Two are posthumous entries of Dr. Nicolas' seedlings. Mary Margaret McBride, a cross, of Sunkist and Olympiad, is a strong growing H.T. with four and a half inch blooms of satiny salmon-pink. It has very little scent and holds its dead petals. Except that it is a good producer I could not see much future to it.
