[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.

Most reporters feel the bush is a shy bloomer but a few contradict.

Looks good in the garden. Marlborough says it is healthy but has confused centres. North Otago says their bush does not have so many split centres this year.

Maria McGredy (MACturang); McGredy 1997; salmon pink blend; 6 reports on 6 plants; 1 year; 1.2 metres; 7.2 rating. First reports on this new HT from the house of McGredy. Most reports indicate they are reserving judgement at this stage as they have not formed a true opinion yet. Southland says it is growing tallish, possible exhibition although centres often confused, healthy. North Harbour has found it slow to get going, colour and shape good, very healthy. North Otago says centres split, colour good. Marlborough unsure at this stage, few flowers and rather cabbagey. Waikato has found it shy of flowers, but healthy. We will await next years reports for a better idea.
