Mission Bells, a deep pink decorative rose, has proved a rampant grower and disease resistant.  Its particular virtue is its constant blooming habit and long stems.

Mission Bells. High-class orange-pink with a high centre.  Good grower. 
...Mission Bells is a pink very similar in colour to Lorraine Lee and takes up the running when Lorraine Lee finishes. 

p139.  Mr. T. Betteridge, Christhurch, N.Z.
Mission Bells, a salmon pink, is not definite enough in its colour to appeal to me;  may be better in a lighter soil. 

p141.  Mr. Reg McIntyre, Waikato, N.Z. 
Mission Bells High sprawly growth;  blooms good but without any special appeal.

p148.  Mr. F. H. Vincent, Manurewa, N.Z.
If you are seeking another healthy free-blooming decorative rose variety, why not try Mission Bells.  Its salmon shrimp-pink blooms are distinguished and lavishly produced for nine months of the year.

Mission Bells (H.T.) is a very, very lovely shade of deep glowing salmon pink. Intensely fragrant, the long pointed, well-shaped exquisite buds are borne on straight, practically thornless stems, rather inclined to be willowy, with attractive foliage. The blooms opened rather quickly to large, full, high-centred flowers of a beautiful clear shrimp pink hue showing veined petals which had a sort of fluted effect. Though rather loose and informal, the blooms held very well, and should prove ideal for the home and the garden. The plant is very vigorous and strong, so far, resistant to disease.

Mission Bells: A deep pink with a lot of promise. The high centred flowers resemble Charlotte Armstrong in colour.
