for Sandy and other lovers of Frilly Roses

20 years ago

I've just been visiting in Orange and I saw this rose in a lovely coffee shop in a town outside of O. whose name I can't remember.

I asked the owner of the shop and he didn't know what it was but said it was grown by a local lady whom (who?) he knows.

He said he would be in touch with her and would ask her what it was.

It was a bright orange with frilly edges. As you can see it went quite a yucky/greyish white colour as it aged.

It reminded me very much of Permanent Wave but with more petals.

Anyone care to take a guess as to its name?
