'Ipswich Gem' rose Reviews & Comments
-
-
|
'Ipswich Gem' was bred by Robert Ward who lived at Ipswich, England. It was advertised in 'Curtis's Botanical Magazine' in 1867; this is the longest running botanical magazine, dating from 1787. 'Ipswich Gem' is described as a Hybrid Perpetual as 'brilliant rosy carmine; large and very double petals, smooth and beautifully disposed, with a fine outline; very distinct in growth and foliage'. It was advertised widely for a few years, but it is probably now extinct.

Thank you, we added several early references to Roberd Ward's roses. Breeding years for John Hopper and Ipswich Gem moved to an earlier date, parentage of Mrs. Ward to the earliest record in 1862.

We have added these roses by Robert Ward. Interesting information, hopefully more will come! I cannot find a reference to "Botanical Magazine Advertiser". Is it maybe "Horticultural Review and Botanical Magazine"?

Hi Jedmar,
maybe this link will help: http://www.botanicus.org/primeocr/mbgserv14/botanicus2/b11919279/31753002721675/31753002721675_0080.txt
cheers Bernhard

Hi Jedmar-the link that Bernhard gave is where I found the reference.
I have searched through the botanicus site but can't find the relevant publication.
UPDATE-Further investigation (and a download) confirms that the publication which contains the reference to Ward is 'Curtis's Botanical Magazine' 1867.
The 'Botanical Magazine Advertiser' is part of this publication.
PS-corrected from 1876 to 1867 (typo)
