Mrs. Edward Laxton: Is dressed in beautiful foliage and has remarkable health and growth. When it is in bloom its orange-pink full flowers are very lovely and long-lasting. A charming paying guest in the garden.

p94. Mr. R. T. Hamilton, Heidelberg, Vic.
Mrs. E. Laxton is flame-pink in colour, with the most beautiful dark-green glossy foliage.   I wish i had half a dozen more plants.

Mr. Frank Mason.  The Newer Roses in New Zealand
Mrs. Ed. Laxton is a splendid bedding Rose, and I think that I like it better than Margaret McGredy. There is something of Shot Silk about its growth, and it will be a good companion to that fine old Rose.

[in Alister Clark's garden] I saw there a young plant of Mrs. E. Laxton, a recent importation. It was a beautiful bit of colour and had nice healthy foliage. If it grows well it should be much sought after. I was very taken with it, and will try it out myself.

Mrs. E. A. Laxton and Queen Astrid are growing side by side, and one has been trying to outdo the other.

John Poulsen, NZ.  Roses in the South Island
Mrs. Edward Laxton. Sturdy healthy growth and fairly free fowering; the colour has been very fine and the blooms have been consistently good. Should make a good bedder.

Bush Roses
Mrs. Edward Laxton (Hybrid Tea)... A unique colour combination—old rose and flaming orange. The bloom is well built up with plenty of petals. The habit of growth is similar to "Shot Silk", robust, free from disease, and very free flowering. It has all the good points of a garden Rose—colour, size and vigour. An excellent Novelty. Introduced 1936.

Mr. S. R. Bird, N.Z.  Some Auckland Rose Notes. 
Mrs: Edward Laxton shows its Shot Silk parentage clearly, while the colour seems more bronzy orange. I doubt if it has the fine perfume of Shot Silk.

The colour is ochre red, fading to pink. The habit is very vigorous. Foliage a light green, wood dark green. Prickles rather profuse. A very fine bedding variety. its fragrance is not very pronounced; but for that it would have received a higher award. Awarded a Second Class Trial Ground Certificate.
