I was tempted to include 'Dame Edith Helen' in this list of Hybrid Teas, because it was a superb flower, clear rose pink, full of petals, and as fragrant as any. It came from Alexander Dickson in 1926. But it was of little use to anyone who was not an exhibitor or a Queenslander, because of its reluctance to grow.
Book (1961) Page(s) 113. W. C. Thorn. What's In A Name? 'Dame Edith Helen' once a great favourite, was named for the Marchioness of Londonderry whose estate was quite near the Dicksons who raised it. There was already a variety named the 'Marchioness of Londonderry' so she asked for this rose to be called simply 'Dame Edith Helen'.
