‘Elizabeth of York’. Rich cerise pink, of a particularly vivid shade, fading to a pale pink in the open flower. The blooms, though semi-double, are capable of show standard at times, but as a garden rose it is one of the most outstanding introductions for some years. The growth is vigorous and branching and ideal for bedding purposes.

Mrs Simon Ross, Geelong, Vic.  Pink Roses in my Garden.
Firstly I would mention Elizabeth of York. It has wondrous beauty in the bud stage, opening with rose madder petals backed by pale orchid pink and running into ochre yellow as it reaches the base. It is a prolific grower, a very clean rose, and an ornament to any garden. It's one unhappy fault is that it does not like the heat of Summer, but in Spring and Autumn it reaches close to perfection.

‘Elizabeth of York’. (HT) In our opinion the best all round garden rose we have seen. Of strong branching growth with clean healthy foliage, very free-blooming, and covered with beautifully shaped blooms of rich cerise-pink with a splendid sheen. Holds its foliage till well into winter and one of the first to bloom in spring. Ideal for a rose hedge of 5 to 6 feet.
