Charlotte Armstrong may not be an earth-shattering rose, but there are not many hybrid tea roses that have gone on to serve as a parent to more great roses. Queen Elizabeth and Chrysler Imperial are two such roses. Both were ground-breaking roses in their own time, and each has a solid and dedicated following today. If one were to set out to identify the most popular, most solid, most influencial, and most widely loved roses of the twentieth century, Queen Elizabeth would be high on almost every short list. Bewitched posesses one of the tallest high centers of any high centered rose nd is still quite an asset in a cutting garden. China Doll is a very foliferous polyantha of easy care. It is ideally suited to be used as edging for beds and borders. Golden Showers is among the better of the yellow shrubs, though it is not completely free of disease. This may not be a very long list but each entry has had a great impact on the American garden.
