...In response to their first failures, and as a result of their observations, Alexander II and George II evolved a system of in-breeding. It may be briefly explained by saying that a cross of Mother x Father = Seedling was followed by four more crosses, namely Mother x Seedling; Father x Seedling; Seedling x Mother; Seedling x Father. From the progeny, those nearest the ideal were selected, and the process continued, if the line appeared promising...This policy made a mockery of their published parentages, which they announced in a simplified form. For example, their white 'Mildred Grant' (1901) was stated to be from 'Niphetos' x 'Mme Mélanie Willermoz'. In fact, Alexander II admitted it arose from a seedling of those two roses, crossed with another seedling.

Mr. Stan Sproates, Broga, NSW
I have an old tree of Mildred Grant, and flowers from it never fail to attract the admiration of all at the shows I visit, and I think it a great pity she has been left so much in the "cold" by nurserymen of late years.
