Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
"Bright scarlet, neat single flowers open flat to decorate a bushy shrub whose neat foliage has a dark red tinge. This is a handsome plant, and due to its size serves as an excellent choice for a low hedge or border. Our original cuttings come from a Navasota gardener, Martha Gonzales, whose display of ‘Mrs. Dudley Cross’, ‘Old Blush’ and this rose could be seen from blocks away. ‘Martha Gonzales’ has become very popular with area landscapers for mass plantings and large drifts."

This rose is also called Martha Gonzales - at least locally - as The Antique Rose Emporium obtained its first plants from her garden in Navasota Texas. By either name the rose thrives in our hot, humid climate.
