"Veg Gdn - South" rose Reviews & Comments

I feel very sure that "Veg Gdn - South" may be 'De la Grifferaie'. I would like to merge the files, but there is just one reference, Leonie Bell in 1976 who said 'De la Grifferaie' had big leaflets "soft beneath with thick pile". I cannot see this pile in "Veg Gdn - South" but perhaps it may only be visible with a magnifying glass? Does anyone else see it on their plants?

Sorting out my excess cutting-grown plants to donate to the local market day, I noticed "Veg Gdn - South" is not thornless. Indeed on one plant, there are almost ....fangs. Perhaps it grows prickles with maturity. Photo added.

An extraordinarily poetic choice of study name.

I like to keep the "study name" the original gardener/owner gave it. That way we can keep track of it. For example, I couldn't even call it "Susan Ronk's Veg Gdn - South" because that was not what Susan called it. (She had two tall'uns in the Veg Gdn, one to the south, and one to the north.)
Is it familiar to you - or anybody.....?

Not to me. I don't know anything about Gallicas.

Surely someone in this world knows what 'Nestor' is like and can say yea or nay?
