Some All-Canadian Roses
by Fred Blakeney, Victoria, B.C.
The Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa, as may be expected, has done considerable rose breeding over a number of years. Dr. William Saunders started this programme with "Grace", a hybrid rugosa, in 1892, followed by "Agnes", also a hybrid rugosa, in 1900. After the passing of Dr. Saunders, the rose breeding programme was taken up by Miss Isabella Preston, and she produced nineteen hybrid species. Nearly all are shrub roses with one burst of bloom in June, but there are three climbers: "Agassiz" (1930), "Langford" (1930), and "Patricia Macoun" (1923).

Mr. Percy Wright of Saskatoon, Sask., must be considered one of the foremost hybridizers of species and near species roses in North America. He has been working on these roses for many years, and knows the reactions of various hardy roses when crossed with species roses.
His objective has always been to produce worthwhile garden roses that are hardy enough to withstand the extremely low temperatures of the Prairies in winter. [...]
Here is a list of Mr. Wright's originations in chronological order of introduction:
1935 "Alice" has soft pink, semi-double blooms.
