The climbing form of ‘Mrs. Sam McGredy’, an older orange dating back to the 1920s, was not in flower, but I easily recognized its distinctive coppery-red foliage and stems and large, hooked thorns. (I remember these from scratches collected as an apprentice in the 1950s, when this rose was at its most popular).

'Mrs. Sam McGredy Climbing'. ‘Mrs. Sam McGredy’ has almost disappeared from the catalogues – the climbing form is the way to enjoy once again some of her former glory. Here are the bronze buds, the copper red blooms and the purple young foliage. The blooms are borne in large numbers and the flowering period lasts into the autumn. Drawbacks include the shortage of leaves, the lack of vigour and its susceptibility to black spot.

Mrs. Sam McGredy, Climbing Description... A good example of an early Hybrid Tea that is much better in its climbing form. The bush is not strong, but the Climber has no such trouble and will easily achieve 15ft. Its flowers are coppery-orange flushed with scarlet, with crisp buds, and associate well with the glossy, dark, bronzy foliage. The growth is not too rigid and the flower stems suitably lax. It repeats well. Bush bred by McGredy (U.K.); climbing sports have been discovered by various people, the first being Buisman (Holland), 1937. See chapter 4.

'Mrs. Sam McGredy Climbing'. Climbing Hybrid Tea (1937). 7-8 feet. Flowers spring and then intermittently. We often say it is better to buy the climbing sports of some of the hybrid teas when available, since they usually have more vigor than the bush and the bloom obtainable is ten-fold over the bush. This is especially true of Mrs. Sam McGredy. A perfectly lovely blend of deep scarlet/copper/orange, with shades of yellow in the base of the petals. The blossoms are fully double, exhibition type, with a lovely light fragrance.
