'B. W. Price' rose Reviews & Comments
-
-
Please note that HMF lists two entirely different varieties under the name B. W. Price. The 1946 American Rose Annual refers to the McGredy cultivar (1941) as a single pink HT (p. 184). The 1951 ARA states, "B. W. Price (McGredy, 1941) has from six to eight petals of cerise-pink and is a charming rose of good size. Of course, when the hot sun hits that cerise it melts to a much paler shade, but it is still a pleasing color, and its petals are so artistically waved that this rose is a valuable variety if one is at all interested n making a collection of singles (p.180)."
Parentage is Night x Mme. Butterfly under the plants bred by Walter Johnson.
