'Beverley Anne' rose References
Website/Catalog (2015) Registered Name: 'Beverley Anne' ARS Approved Exhibition Name: Beverley Anne Ch, mr, 1987, Nobbs, Kenneth J.; flowers red-purple, open, 21 petals, flat, borne in sprays of 3-7, slight fragrance; foliage pivoted, serrated; prickles no; semi-dwarf growth. [seedling × seedling]
Book (2012) Page(s) 121. Includes photo(s). 'Beverley Anne'. Her rose has a confused history. Although Ken, in an article 'New Old Roses for Heritage Folk', says this rose is a fortuitous seedling of 'Tausendschon' with fragrant lavender-pink blooms in clusters, the registration papers says something entirely different. He cites its breeding as unknown and unknown, and Ken has placed it in the red-purple group of the colour chart. It is double, opens flat; with blooms borne in sprays of three to seven. It has a slight fragrance, dwarf habit and flowers from October to June or July. The photo available shows a rambling rose with pale pink, semi-double blooms which fade to white. There is also a notation in a different hand on the form which says it is lolly-pink with a white centre. Interestingly the registration paper is signed by a Justice of the Peace, with the notation 'inspected and confirm data J.S. Kidd J.P 20-11-86'. None of his other registration papers have such a notation and I wonder what prompted it. In another letter to Margaret Hayward in 1987, Ken writes: "Another rose I have registered as 'Beverley Anne', a fortuitous seedling of 'Tausendschon' which has even a longer flowering season than D.M. ['Daughter Margaret'] as has flowered right through the winter. Beverley Anne'is a daughter-in-law." 'Beverley Anne' flowers in Te Kauwhata and in Margaret's garden.
