More colour – rose

Hello All,

Our roses have been lovely this year providing some lovely colour in the
garden. They are at their peak flowering this week, of course too late for
the shows. We did manage to win a few trophies – more than usual, but we
are not real Rosarians like Michael and Marian Brown who are right at the
top of the tree in Rose Shows as well as doing verw well with their
Daffodils.

Cheers,

Peter

PS The rose picture attached is Sam McGredy’s RocknRoll – for those in my
age group it is reminescent of the frilly frocks favoured by our partners in
our favourite dance mode!!

  1. Now Peter:
    When do we get a frilly corona colored like that with a pink picotee edge?

  2. Friends,

    This rose is available in the USA under the name ‘Stretch Johnson’.
    The American Rose Society (the International Rose Registrar) has
    awarded the name ‘Rock and Roll’ to another rose cultivar.

    PS. I grow it, too!
