'Cornelia'. Pemberton, 1925. This is the first of the hybrid musks in our list that can be reliably credited to Pemberton, and it is one of his best. It carries, over a very long season, large trusses of quite small, double, almost pompon-style flowers in strawberry-pink with perhaps a touch of apricot. They are fragrant and appear against dark-green leaves on a wide-spreading bush that will probably reach 5 ft (1.5m) or so in height. The autumn show of colour will be particularly fine if some dead-heading is carried out, although there is a chance that the late flowers may be accompanied by mildew, so you should spray too. A good rose for a hedge provided that you can cope with its width - which I have not given as it will vary so much. However, you would certainly have to allow for 5 ft (1.5m).

'Cornelia' (1925). A fine member of the family which is always in flower. The flowers are small but very fragrant and appear in long arching sprays. The buds are coral-pink opening to pink, and the height is up to 2 metres. A fair crop of medium-red fruit.

'Cornelia'  Taller Pink   Remontant   P4     H2 
A large bush, which spreads fairly wide, and is well covered with dark leaves. The flowers are pink, with a touch of apricot to enliven them, especially in the autumn. This is an agreeable plant to grow, usually showing at least some colour through most of the season, and occasionally surprising one by its magnificence. The flowers are fragrant, double, trimly formed; perhaps smaller than one would expect in relation to the bush. Introduced in 1925 by Pemberton, without details of parentage.

‘Cornelia’ Hybrid Musk (1925) 6-8 feet. Flowers repeatedly. Jeanne Marshall thinks ‘Cornelia’ a most satisfying rose…. growing on her fence, it is always in bloom clear to the ground, even when other roses are resting. Large sprays of fragrant, small double roses are exquisite in color from the dark coral of the buds to the warm salmon-pink of open flowers.

p43 In the picture facing page 37 it introduces a softening note to the bright yellow of horse-chestnut leaves and ‘Peace’ and the pinkness of the musk-rose ‘Cornelia’, a rose by the way that is particularly good in autumn when you can pick long heavily flowered stems with impunity.

p44 ….the warm-tinted ‘Cornelia’

p72 Until this year I have had reservations in my own mind about the decorative value in summer of the two hybrid musk-roses ‘Cornelia’ and ‘Felicia’. Waiting always for their grand autumn beauty both in house and garden, my feeling about their summer show has been luke-warm. Now in this same summer of which I speak they have been wreathed and garlanded with their delicious delicately coloured flowers, and it has been possible in early summer to pick those long, strong, well-flowered stems that I have always regarded as their autumn contribution. Again I would remind you what beautiful associates they are in decoration for the roses ‘Magenta’ and ‘Gletscher.’.
