Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Killarney Queen. Hybrid Tea. (J. A. Budlong & Son Co., 1912.) Another Killarney, closer to the original in color but a little fuller, and, perhaps, stronger in growth. Very free flowering.
If we did not know better, we would not class this Rose with the Killarney group. It is practically immune to mildew, with large flowers and thick petals. The Killarney Roses are most beautiful in bud and for its great beauty in that respect this Rose fully deserves the name “Queen.” It is doubler than either Killarney or Killarney Brilliant.

"New Roses for the Garden" by Charles E. F. Gersdorff
Deeper pinks, ranging from salmon to deep rose, are well represented. Killarney Queen (Budlong, 1912) is an American sport of the well known Killarney and has shown itself to be the most reliable sport as to constancy of color. It is a free, vigorous grower and bloomer, giving blooms of sparkling cerise pink.

p16. Novelties of 1921
Killarney Queen (HT) (Budlong) A decided improvement on the popular Killarney, with larger, fragrant, well-formed buds and flowers, which are of perfect shape. They are a sparkling cerise pink colour, shading lighter at base of petals. A strong vigorous grower and free bloomer. Mildews like the parent, but otherwise good.

p25 'Killarney Brilliant' and Killarney Queen are much darker in colour (than 'Killarney').
