'Duke of Edinburgh' rose References

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Mr Johnson, of Hawthorn, is rather famous for raising new roses, and he left for our inspection yesterday blooms of two-the ‘Duke of Edinbough’, and ‘William Taylor’. These are of slightly different shades of bright scarlet, and differ somewhat also in form. The first is large and cup-shaped when open; the latter globular, and both are very fine roses. We have not been informed as to the strains or varieties they were raised from, but they are evidently of strong, free and healthy growth.

Had the Prince (the Duke of Edinbough) come he would have been offered some extraordinarily fine Victorian fruit, and the bud of a new seedling rose, grown by Mr. T. Johnson, horticulturist, expressly for the occasion, and called the 'Duke of Edinburgh'. It was a perfect specimen of a rose-bud for wearing in a coat.
