This ['Harry Wheatcroft'] is at least the seventh registered sport of 'Piccadilly' so far. Four of the others are yellow 'Pamela's Choice', 'Mellow Yellow', 'Super Sun' and 'Bobby Shafto'. A fifth 'Piccadilly Sunset' is apricot and gold and the sixth is brick red - I cannot find its name. Bicolours are unstable and throw sports very readily. Sports, except climbers, have similar growth habit to that of the parent. Those of 'Piccadilly' have long willowy stems and the flowers are identical in form with those of the parent.

Piccadilly HT. A vivid red and yellow bi-colour. Good grower and most floriferous. What a pity there are not a few more petals. Maybe the second year will bring them.
p22. Dr. A. S. Thomas. New Roses in Victoria.
Piccadilly HT. (McGredy, 1960) A tall growing bicolour with a combination of orange-red and rich golden yellow. The darker colour is mostly on the upper half of the inner face of each petal - it is not clean cut as in 'Tzigane', 'Cleopatra' 'Contrast' and the like. The colour does not fade or blue. It is a wonderful rose for the garden and home decoration but the form is too fleeting for show purposes.

The following have been imported, but as they have not bloomed yet we can give only the raiser's descriptions
Piccadilly (McGredy 1960) Bright scarlet on the inside and gold on the outside. Good growth, glossy green foliage, disease resistant and an excellent bedding variety. Reports from overseas say it is one of the best bi-colours on the market today.
