'Lady Gay' rose Reviews & Comments

Would people who grow this rose, please look at "Loveday" to see if it matches. Lady Gay reached Australia but was not included in the 1996 Australian Rose Directory: presumably it was no longer in commerce then.

I have seen the color change from pink to white on 'Lady Gay'. The pedicles look correct as well with just sprinkle of bristles. One characteristic for LG is a "halo" of lighter petals surrounding the darker ones as illustrated in a couple of my photos under that rose.

Thank you. Some photos of "Loveday" show that feature, and I think the suggestion of Lady Gay (which came from Patricia) is a good one.

Does Lady Gay set hips? I see that it doesn't have any descendants as seed parent.

Responding to Member Palustris' comment in a 'Debutante' photo.
"Several ways to ID the correct 'Dorothy Perkins' are
1. New foliage and growth is "bronze" in color initially; 'Lady Gay' never is.
2. Pedicels are devoid of any bristles; 'Lady Gay' has sparse and minute "bristles."
Thank you for that Palustris. I have added these points to the main page for 'Lady Gay'.

It may be of some interest the report by Arthur William Paul, presented in 1906 at the Third International Conference on Genetics, entitled ON THE DERIVATION OF SOME RECENT VARIETIES OF ROSES (see References). The parentage of Lady Gay reported by Paul is “a seedling from Crimson Rambler, other parent not stated”, different from “Wichuraiana and Bardou Job” reported by Mr. Henry Hentz, Jr. in Roses and how to grow them (1906).
