[Alec Cocker's] first big success was 'Alec's Red', a cherry red Hybrid Tea with large blooms and rich fragrance.

p. 164: Two seedlings from that first year's [1962] work were to give me some fine roses in the future; one was 'Anne Elizabeth' x 'Allgold'; the other 'Orange Sensation' x 'Allgold'. They were never introduced, because they were not in their own right marketable varieties. I called them 'half-way houses'. The influence of both is well marked in our breeding to this day.

p. 166: Among my varieties some of the best known are 'Alexander', 'Compassion', 'Mountbatten', 'Yesterday', 'Elizabeth Harkness', 'Southampton' and 'Amber Queen'.
