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.
Crimson Champion. Hybrid Tea. (J. Cook, 1916.) Large, cup-like, semi-double blooms of lustrous mahogany-red. Plant is dwarf and particularly free from disease.
A most unusual Rose of unfading color, but without scent. Its greatest drawback is its very slight growth—scarcely strong enough to support the flowers. Hawlmark Crimson is a very similar flower but not as dark and velvety.

"New Roses for the Garden" by Charles E. F. Gersdorff
Intense dazzling crimson reds are all too rare. [...] Crimson Champion (John Cook, 1916) is noted for its immunity from disease. Its blooms are well formed and of a glowing crimson color overlaid a darker shade.
