This is a locally bred rose named after a Rosarian we knew, but he died quite a
few years ago, and this rose was named as a tribute to a man who re-introduced
many of the old roses that had disappeared from the shelves of the nurseries.
I was given the rose to plant about a decade ago, and it has loved all the
extra rain we've had this season... it looks a treasure right now, the colour
and shape is a delight to see as one walks the main pathway to the gazebo.
