Ken Nobbs: For many years now I have been raising seedling roses as well as sundry fruit trees. First of all I tried to raise some good roses free of thorns, and worked with a smooth stem rose, a Hybrid Tea/Floribunda named 'Royal Flush' from Florida, U.S.A. This rose had turkey red-orange blooms. One or two of these seedling plants were kept, one named 'Dr. Thelma Becroft' and the other 'Professor E. M. Blacklock'.
