Plate 16. 'Anna Olivier' (1872) is a very vigorous bush, with good form, growing to a height of over 6 ft. The foliage is medium green, unfortunately subject to black spot. The buds are pointed, showing faint colour, opening to pale flesh-coloured, faintly yellow blooms, with a slight touch of deep pink around the edges, turning a deeper yellow with age. The blooms can be as much as 3 1/2" across. This is an excellent rose for cutting.

Peter Harkness. Roses in Bermuda.
Imagine my amazement and delight on our arrival in Bermuda to find, beside our hosts' front door, a strapping 6 ft [Bermuda] 'Anna Olivier', a straw yellow Tea of 1872. Amazement, because of the size, quality and fine colour of the blooms, compared with which the washed out tokens of the 'Anna Olivier' at bleak St. Albans look a sorry parody. Delight, because my grandfather John had exhibited this selfsame rose in his first Championship success in 1887; and never in my life had I seen it, so to speak, with his eyes. When hardy yellow Hybrid Teas crept into Europe, there was no place for a rose of Anna's tender disposition. Bermuda, with its mildness, suits her to perfection, and perfectly she grows.
