At the top of his [Admiral Ward] list was the name of the greatest rosarian in the world, M. Pernet-Ducher of Lyons. From this unusual friendship came the introduction of such roses as Willowmere, named for Admiral Ward's beautiful home-place at Roslyn, Long Island.

Les hivers tout particulièrement rudes de 1938-39, 1939-40, 1940-41 et 1941-42 ont, aussi, bien contribué à la disparition des variétés fragiles, à bois creux, telles que : Château de Clos Vougeot, E. Aramayo, Los Angeles, L.-C. Breslau, Mme N. Aussel, Révérend Page Roberts, Souv. de Geo. Beckwith, William Dreer et Willowmere.

Au cours d'une des visites que fit l'Admirai Ward au grand semeur lyonnais, celui-ci nomma, en 1912, une de ses plus belles roses en l'honneur de la fameuse propriété « Willowmere », qui n'était autre que la résidence de la famille Ward à Roslyn, Long Island.
Je me permets de m'étendre, en quelques mots, sur les beautés de Willowmere qui, pendant la guerre ont procuré des deniers appréciables au service sanitaire français. En effet, Mrs. Aaron Ward avait organisé des visites payantes, et les revenus ainsi obtenus lui onl permis de doter de deux lits, avec personnel, l'American Ambulance de Neuilly.  Mrs Aaron Ward, poussant encore plus loin son beau geste, avail tenu essentiellement à ce que ces deux lits portent le nom de Claude Pernet et de Georges Pernet, les deux fils morts pour la France de noire illustre Pernet-Ducher

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.
Willowmere. Hybrid Tea. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Superb buds and blooms of richest pink, shining with a yellow glow which seems to come from the heart of the flower; not fragrant. A very strong grower and a persistent bloomer. The foliage requires protection.
One of the finest of all Roses; a bed of it is magnificent, and it is equally fine cut. Its only faults are lack of fragrance and the ordinary foliage weakness which is so easily controlled. The best substitute for Los Angeles which is not always easy to grow.
