The 1913 Biltmore Rose Catalog says, "The Anna Marie Rose is a splendid specimen of the Prairie Rose group. The pale pink blossoms are beautiful, and their fragrance is soft and sweet. The flowers are borne in profusion once a year. The plant if ironclad in hardiness, grows vigorously, and makes itself at home over any lattice or wall. It is a valuable climber, its foliage being so attractive that it would be worthy of cultivation for that alone, but the flowers give the plant an added charm."
