Lady Grenfell Price

15 years ago

I am trying to locate an old rose that I think was bred in Adelaide. The name of the rose is Lady Grenfell Price. I;n told it was an orange colour with pink around the edges. I am pressuming it would have been available from the 1950's but could have been a bit earlier or a bit later than that.

Does any one know about it or have any idea where I could track it down? It is named after my husband's grandmother and would love to have it in the garden.

If I were you I'd contact Mistydowns....they usually carry very different and unusual roses, including Heritage. try them. I have bought from them and can report that my roses were pretty strong and healthy.

Have a few more details on this rose -think it was bred in Adelaide from 1963. Could be Lady Archibald Price or Lady Grenfell Price. Have been in contact with the Adelaide Botanic gardens but no luck so far - any clues would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you

Thanks so much for the information. I had my first mess out of the garden last week and they were so yummy it was beyond belief! I've since found, however, that I have no free Saturdays for a few weeks and guess what?! The peas are ready!!! Am now thinking of approaching a few chiefs in town who I know try to buy local and organic. But, I live in South Texas and most people down here don't even know what a pea is, much less want to add them to their menu! It's gonna be a tough sale. Will keep you updated, Rhonda

NEW Grenfell book?

Pam go to Timber Press site. (the publisher) It's 450 pages. 815 pics. Enough for me to purchase. Amazon now has it at 35% off. Even if I had a Border Coupon I'd have to pay tax and it would cost more than Amazon...so I placed my order early. Still in all it may be repetative of previous books. But I like garden books. And the hostapedia I need a forklift to get that book off my lap...but I love it!

Actually, I was thinking that it did remind me a bit of Giraffe, more green but the rust colored striped are a similar color. Thanks, glad you like it!☺ The longer it's out the more butterfly shape is showing, not much but more than in the pictures above. Yes, I did get this just a few weeks ago and there were two stalks up about 2" that didn't receive any damage, lucky or what! Unfortunately this is not the norm for my other Konoriya bulbs...You loose fifteen and you win one!!☺☺

I received the two roses from Heirloom today. They were shipped on Monday and I received on Thursday via UPS. I’m very impressed with the way they packed the roses. Both roses are well developed for own root roses. If they find a way to sell all the gorgeous cabbage roses from Europe and Japan, I will sure to buy them all. Helen
