‘Mrs. Norman Watson’. Modern, large-flowered climber. Deep pink. Repeat flowering. The deep cherry pink flowers of this rose have no fragrance. The large florets have an informal form, and are borne in small clusters on a very vigorous bush that prefers to grow as a pillar rather than a true climber. This old world rose is winter hardy with a long repeat-bloom cycle. It is disease resistant. Almost forgotten among the wide variety of more modern climbers, it retains the majesty of an era gone by. Zones 5-10. Clark, Australia, 1930. ‘Radiance’ x ‘Gwen Nash’.

‘Mrs. Norman Watson’. A climbing Hybrid Tea released in 1930, a cross between ‘Radiance’ and Alister’s ‘Gwen Nash’. It is a vigorous pillar rose described in ‘Modern Roses’ as “deep cherry pink”. The rose released under this name bears all the marks of an Alister Clark rose but Mrs. Watson’s family have some doubts.
