Some All-Canadian Roses
by Fred Blakeney, Victoria, B.C.
My rose, "Miss Canada" is now known all across Canada, so it needs no description from me. That it has given me the greatest hybridizing thrill of my life is an understatement, and I trulu am gratified at the way the people of canada have taken to it. I have also another rose on the market which I have named "Blakeney's Red". The foliage is dull and so is not so attractive as the foliage of "Miss Canada". It is a brilliant red currant colour and can produce at times some wonderful blooms.
