Alex Ross, Ashton, South Australia. Polyantha Roses.
In the single-flowered type the most successful varieties are 'Alice Amos', Britannia,and 'Mdme Francisque Favre', the three sorts being very much alike, of a bright crimson colour with a white eye. 'Beauty of New South Wales' and 'Eglantine' would, no doubt, do well in a cool climate, but are quite useless with us.

New Roses 1931.  Britannia  (Dwf. Poly. The Burbage Nurseries 1929) 2. A wonderful free flowering single Polyantha Rose producing large branching trusses,  many carrying from 30 to 40 flowers. Colour rich crimson with white centre and yellow stamens, very striking and effective. It might justly be described as a dwarf 'Hiawatha'. Growth vigorous and erect, foliage bright green. Its first flowering was almost identical with 'Alice Amos' but it has improved since then, and the growth is lower and more bushy, while the colour is rather deeper than the variety mentioned. 2/- each.

Britannia (Burbage Nurseries, 1929). Light crimson flowers with white centers and yellow stamens, borne in enormous clusters. Abundant, leathery, disease resistant foliage Very vigorous, compact habit.
This rose might be described as a dwarf 'Hiawatha' but the flowers have a few more petals. It is remarkably floriferous, with enormous, branching trusses rivaling those of 'Chatillon Rose' in size and abundance of bloom. The combination of dull crimson spotted with white is curiously attractive and unique.
