Mr. C.W. Heers, Some Reflections from Queensland.
Then there were many fine show Roses and some garden varieties which seem to have disappeared altogether; for instance, that old and very reliable show specimen Bessie Brown, a Rose that would respond to any extra cultural attention, undoubtedly one of the finest light show Roses ever raised.

Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Bessie Brown. Hybrid Tea. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1899.) Massive, very double blooms of very light flesh-color; some fragrance. Moderate growth and bloom.
Buds often ball, but worth striving for. Not a strong plant, its energies going into its enormous flowers which are prized for remarkable beauty.
