Book (1939) Page(s) 118. Mr C. W. Heers. Roses in Queensland Princess Marina.- The colour, described as apricot shaded, heavily veined salmon, came fairly true in the early stage of the bloom, but here again the colour does not seem to stand our climate. The growth of this variety looked everything that could be desired in the young plants, but the extent of die-back which followed makes it look hopeless here.
