'Marianne Williams' rose References
Book  (2012)  Page(s) 63.  Includes photo(s).
 
'Marianne Williams'. Described as a seedling from 'Thornfree Wonder' and having peach-pink to apricot blooms that fade to white, this rose is lax in habit with mid-green leaves and massed sprays. It was released in 1985. It has 5-13 tiny blooms in each cluster, and Ken records a slight fragrance. I have viewed it in the garden of Margaret Williams so thankfully it is not a lost beauty, and I can confirm it is among the unnamed rescued Ken Nobbs' roses at Trinity Farm.

'Marianne Williams' [named after] 1824 wife of Archdeacon Henry Williams. Flowers opening apricot pink fading to white. Diameter 4cm. 5 to 13 blooms per cluster. 30 to 38 petals. Late October - December. 'Thornfree Wonder'.

Two of the best new roses to bloom this summer I have provisionally named 'Marianne Williams'and 'Jane Williams' for the wives of Archdeacon Henry Williams and Bishop William Williams respectively. I would welcome communication with the descendants of these two families.
