Jack Harkness. In the autumn of 1943, my friends and I walked from Chittagong to the Arakan, a distance of a hundred miles or so, moving by night. We arrived, perfectly cheerful, to find ourselves members of the Fourteenth Army, which considered itself "Forgotten", and was stuck in the Burmese mud wondering where the Japanese would hit it next. To us there came a tall leader, splendid in his white uniform, able to tell us how to defeat the enemy, and to put into effect the necessary measures. I can see him now, standing on an empty box, beckoning us to gather around and listen. He was known as "Lord Louis", the title being shorn of pomp and invested with affection. So now you know the reason for roses being named 'Arakan', 'Burma Star" and 'Mountbatten'.

The Centenary International Rose conference. Rose Breeding.
Answering a question why 'Claire Grammerstorf' was used in breeding, Sam explained yellow was always a difficult colour and 'Claire Grammerstorf' was useful, particularly for giving hardiness and vigour. He was lucky to have had some success with Arthur Bell, 'Yellow Pages' and 'Young Quinn'. They owed their constitution to Grammerstorf.
Pat [Dickson] said at the Summer Show in July his Company were exhibiting a compact growing yellow floribunder under the name 'Dicalow' on the BARB stand. That variety owed its origin to 'Claire Grammerstorf' and this was unusual because most seedlings from that variety - and there had been thousands - were tall growing, even shrub-like in the first generation. He considered that 'Arthur Bell' was the best to date from that line.

E. F. Allen. [Book Reviews] Late Victorian Roses. Edwardian Roses by Peter Beales.
This booklet will inevitably become of historical importance since many of the roses portrayed are little known, even by well informed rosarians. It is unfortunate, therefore, that a few errors of dating and perhaps also of fact have crept in. Thus Mr. Beales gives 1887 as the date for that very important cultivar 'Augustine Guinoisseau' which he also claims was a seedling from 'La France' and not a sport. However, contemporary authorities (Journal des Roses, 1897 and Rosen Zeitung, 1892) both agree that it arose as a sport at Angers in 1881 and was first marketed in November, 1889. Furthermore, Mr. Arthur Wyatt has told me that at one time he cultivated this variety in some numbers and that more than once he observed sporting back to 'La France.'
