Peter Harkness. Roses in Bermuda.
Imagine my amazement and delight on our arrival in Bermuda to find, beside our hosts' front door, a strapping 6 ft [Bermuda] 'Anna Olivier', a straw yellow Tea of 1872. Amazement, because of the size, quality and fine colour of the blooms, compared with which the washed out tokens of the 'Anna Olivier' at bleak St. Albans look a sorry parody. Delight, because my grandfather John had exhibited this selfsame rose in his first Championship success in 1887; and never in my life had I seen it, so to speak, with his eyes. When hardy yellow Hybrid Teas crept into Europe, there was no place for a rose of Anna's tender disposition. Bermuda, with its mildness, suits her to perfection, and perfectly she grows.

Probably the highest overall quality of blooms was to be found on Gregory's stand, but their arrangement was less imaginative. Among roses featured were satin pink 'Jenny Fair' and 'Apricot Silk', both of their own raising...

Nigel Raban. The Men Behind the New Roses. C. W. Gregory.
....In the following year, 1965, Gregory's introduced their hybrid tea 'Apricot Silk' (unnamed seedling x 'Souvenir de Jacques Verschuren') which although it received no award, is one of Mr. Gregory's favourites after 'Wendy Cussons' on account of its decorative form and fine apricot colouring which does not fade with age.
