[Several of Sam McGredy's roses, among them 'Maria McGredy', 'Clodagh McGredy', 'Kathryn McGredy' and Jillian McGredy] are not available in the U.S.A. since the demise of DeVor nurseries. They cannot be put on the market because the trademarks are held by the banks.

Jillian McGredy (MACarnhe) McGredy 1997; 'Sexy Rexy' x 'Lagerfeld'; 10 reports on 12 bushes; 2-4 years; 1.2 metres; 7.0 rating. Pale pink blooms. Marlborough blooms well. A good garden rose, Waikato find it better if you keep in a sheltered spot. Makes good small stems. Napier have a healthy bush with lots of blooms but they are not fussed with the colour. Wairarapa say it isn't strong and doesn't like the rain. Otago have plenty of buds but need sun for them to open. Buds rot in the rain. They like the flower colour and form. Hastings say soft petals that don't like the rain. Delicate colour. Canterbury find the bush crowded. It blooms prolifically with upright growth.

Jillian McGredy (MACarnhe); McGredy 1997; 'Sexy Rexy' x 'Lagerfeld'; pale pink blooms; 12 reports on 13 bushes; 1-2 years; 1 metre; 7.0 rating. Gisborne says nice soft pink flowers. Kaitaia like the soft petals, too, but find they don't stand the weather. Marlborough find the flowers slow to repeat. Auckland find the bush healthy with plenty of buds which are slow to open, but there is some balling in adverse weather. North Harbour like the healthy bush and say it flowers well in late spring and summer, but repeat is a bit slow. Otago find the bush healthy, but growth is slow and so is repeat. They find the colour beautiful and refreshing. Waikato have shifted their rose to a more sheltered spot as the flowers balled last season. Better now, and the roses are good for vases and baskets.

Jillian McGredy (MACamhe); McGredy 1997; pale pink; 5 reports on 6 bushes; 1 year; 90cms; 7.1 rating. Napier likes the delicate flower and says some perfume. Northland says needs time. Petal texture is a bit soft. We will have to wait and see. Marlborough can't fault it. They think repeat is slow and growth weak but they think it could be a good one. Hutt Valley found the texture poor. The pale pink blooms come in large clusters. Moderate health - not strong for a McGredy rose. Gisborne say okay so far.
