 Laurence Allen is a rose like the Baroness Rothschild in growth and foliage, but the flower is very full, and inclined to globular form, extra sweet-scented and lasting, and of a much clearer light pink, but owing to it being a hybrid perpetual, we are afraid that it will never become a popular rose in this colony.
