John S. Nieuwesteeg. If I Could Grow Only Ten Roses.
St. Brigid's Rose. (HT, Dawson released 1999). This rose has become one of my favourites; it is one that I must have among my top 10. Bred by George Dawson (1904-1991) of Ferntree Gully, Victoria, this rose came to me along with a couple of George's other unnamed seedlings in the late 80's. I think it was bred from 'Sonia', 1970, a Meilland cut-flower variety. Their description sounds the same in colour and growth. 'Sonia', also known as 'Sweet Promise', does not do really well outdoors, at least in our climate. 'St. Brigid's Rose', however, loves the outdoor life; a light rose-pink flower, not dissimilar to 'Sonia', with a wonderful perfume and also a good picker. We released 'St. Brigid's' in 1999 to commemorate the centenary of St. Brigid's parish of Healesville in Victoria's Yarra Valley. A decade later it was marketed as 'Let's Celebrate' to commemorate the South Australian Rose Society's centenary. Just how that came about is a story in itself. A must have rose under any name in any garden.

'St. Brigid's Rose' (Hybrid tea) 2003. A very healthy tall bush with few thorns, displaying high pointed flowers of pink suffused coral to yellow, double, very fragrant. Recurrent. This rose was originally released in 1999 to help commemorate the centenary of the St. Brigid's parish of Healesville, Victoria. We have decided to make it more widely available after receiving an extensive amount of feedback from members of the parish extolling the virtues of this delightful rose.
