p50..David Ruston, South Australia. Roses of Distinction. Turning to pink roses, which are so numerous and many are so good, 'Eiffel Tower' can be identified from 100 yards!—not only the tall upright bushes of about ten feet at the end of the season but the length of bud that is unique in the rose world. Last year a visitor in May asked me why I had all those climbers in the rose garden so close together! I looked quite blank, until I found she meant 'Eiffel Tower' in full growth ready for Mother's Day. The new 'Bewitched' may take away some of 'Eiffel Tower's' glory since it is a better flower when in full bloom, but as a producer 'Eiffel Tower' cannot be surpassed.
Book (1968) Page(s) 37. Roy Rumsey. The Best Roses of the Last Five Years. Eiffel Tower The very long pointed clear pink buds open to richly perfumed blooms. The stems are very long (three feet or more), but it must be grown in a sheltered place so that the wind will not damage the blooms.
Book (1965) p14. Roy and Heather Rumsey, NSW. New Roses. Eiffel Tower HT. (D. L. Armstrong and H. C. Swim) This rose would be unequalled for the long firm buds held upright on long, strong stems. Believe it or not, these buds are four inches long, and not a weak neck anywhere! The long stems are nearly thornless, and the plant grows very well, with a second crop of bloom, coming before the petals fall from the previous flowering. It has 25 or more broad strong petals which eventually open to a wide, deep pink flower. It is fragrant, too, just for good measure. ('First Love' x Unnamed Seedling).
