Sam McGredy's Favourite Roses
(1997)  Page(s) 126.  
 
Varietal name: Dickimono. Selling name: 'Anisley Dickson'; 'Dicky' in USA
(1997)  Page(s) 25.  
 
Loving Memory Korgund, Hybrid Tea 1981... red is the difficult colour in roses... For quite a while Pat Dickson was the leading breeder in that colour before [McGredy] edged in with the scentless 'Olympiad' -- and then Reimer Kordes produced 'Loving Memory'. It's the favourite red for the show bench because of its beautiful form...

City of Auckland [McGredy] was invited to name and present a rose to [his] home city at the NRSNZ Convention in 1981... [this rose] loves the climate of Auckland... Parentage: 'Benson & Hedges Gold' x 'Whisky'...

Happy Days (Macseatri) Hybrid Tea 1988. Parentage: [(Unnamed Poulsen Seedling x 'Picasso') x 'Paradise']... [The blooms] are produced in large enough clusters for it almost to pass as a Floribunda... The unnamed Poulsen seedling was a bizarre bicolour Floribunda of cream with scarlet tips to the petals. [McGredy] had thought the combination of that and 'Picasso' would have given [him] something absolutely wild!
