Magazine (20 Jul 1912) Page(s) 558. Includes photo(s). Mrs. E. Alford, H.T. will strongly appeal to those who fully appreciated La France in its best days. While minding one of that fine old rose, this variety is quite distinct from it, both in form and colour, and is a fine addition to the bright pink varieties adapted for exhibition. Silver-gilt medal. N.R.S., July 9. Messrs. Lowe and Shawycr, Uxbridge.
Magazine (20 Apr 1912) Page(s) 195. Includes photo(s). On this page appears an illustration of the new Rose Mrs. E. Alford, which received an award of merit when shown by Messrs. Lowe and Shawyer at a recent meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society. It belongs to the Hybrid Tea section, and as a forcing Rose it has many good points. In describing it we cannot do better than reiterate the notes which appeared in a recent issue of The Garden : " If we say at once that in this new-comer appears the embodiment of the best attributes of Mme. Abel Chatenay and La France — we know nothing of its parentage, by the way — the reader will get an idea of its distinctive beauty. There are the well-rolled recurving petals of both of these, wedded to a longer and more pointed flower, such as Mrs. G. Shawyer. In the main the colour leans to a rather pale Mme. Abel Chatenay, but the flowers are handsome and well set up on firm, boold stems. The variety is nicely scented."
