(1982) Page(s) 42. ...Karl Druschki as a seed parent to obtain climbing roses. His Apeles Mestres, 1925, had some currency as a respectable yellow climber before virtually disappearing in the Second World war.
(19 Nov 1981) Humphrey Brooke: A Rose Prophecy Fulfilled, The Resurgence of the Hybrid Perpetual. Undoubtedly the principal pioneer has been Mr L A Wyatt of Teddington Middlesex, a former editor of The Rose, who combines both scholarship and taste. For years he sent out lists of "Roses lost and found" from which I extracted such prime beauties as Lacharme's Charles Lefebvre (1861), an HP of superb shape in the most brilliant scarlet....
(1921) Two of the most showy roses remarkable for their wonderful colours were Padre and Covent Garden
(1932) Page(s) 70. Two new yellow Roses of similar hue are Agnes, a rugosa hybrid originating in Canada, and Rosa xanhina, which resembles more or less a double hugonis.

Earl Talbot , rose and lilac, hardy, Hybrid Perpetual

(2017) Humphrey Brooke: A Rose Prophecy Fulfilled, The Resurgence of the Hybrid Perpetual. That eminent rosarian, Miss Murrell, still listed 18 HPs in her nursery catalogue.... From Miss Murrell I obtained those HPs that still thrived the best, including Baronne Prévost (1842), Reine de Violettes (1860), Empereur de Roc (1858), Fisher Holmes (1865), Gloire de Ducher (1865), Souvenir d'Alphonse Lavallée (1884), Mrs John Laing (1887), Ulrich Brunner (1882), Hugh Dickson (1905) and Ferdinand Pichard (1921). That last was an introduction from California and "almost too good to be true... a perpetually flowering, globular flower with superb stripings of crimson-purple on a near white ground" (Thomas Rose Manual). At Lime Kiln, where Ferdinand Pichard has made two large bushes (not comparable in size with the one I saw at the Dowager Lady Galway's garden at Serlby, near Bawtry, South Yorkshire), this HP provokes more queries than any other rose.
