Magazine (1913) Page(s) 59. Little Dorrit (Paul and Son, 1912) -- Although figuring in most catalogues as a Tea, this Rose, when exhibited by the raisers at the autumn show of the National Rose Soceity, where it was awarded a silver medal in the new seedling Rose class, was termed by them a Hybrid Tea, and I should say correctly so. It is of almost China habit, and as seen growing in the Cheshunt nurseries of the firm was very free-flowering and a beautiful Rose, with something of the colour associated with Hugo Roller, only deeper....The colour is lemon yellow, splashed and edged with deep carmine rose that gives a coppery effect....Southampton.

Magazine (12 Oct 1912) Page(s) 513. Includes photo(s). A New Tea Rose: Little Dorritt. Little Dorritt is a beautiful Tea Rose with conical-shaped blooms that have aptly been described as a mingling of nasturtium red, apricot and cream, with a deeper shade of red on the outer petals. When shown by Messrs. George Paul and Son, Cheshunt, before the National Rose Society at the autumn show this year, it created something in the nature of a mild sensation among Rose experts, and by way of expressing a high opinion of its merits it was awarded the society's silver-gilt medal. The Royal Horticultural Society have since shown their appreciation of this novelty by granting an award of merit at the meeting held on September 24. It is a pretty Rose, with shapely buds and perfect bloom, as depicted in the illustration on this page.
