'Piccadilly' Medium    — Red  &  yellow   Remontant   P2  H2    ***
This is the masterpiece in red and yellow; a typical bicoloured Hybrid Tea, in which the red is on the inside of the petal, the yellow on the outside! .....'Piccadilly' was raised by Sam McGredy from `McGredy' s Yellow' x 'Karl Herbst' and introduced in 1960. It immediately  became popular, for its bright colours and attractive bedding habit. One of the earliest Hybrid Teas to bloom, it is notable both for its freedom of flower, and for the number of sports it has given; but most of them are minor variations.   When 'Piccadilly' came before the  National Rose Society's judges, it was in competition with another rose named after a place in London, namely 'Westminster'. The two as shown were similar in colour, and the Gold Medal went  to Herbert Robinson's 'Westminster'; we  may say the judges met their Waterloo on that occasion, and their mistake reinforced the decision to transfer all the judging of new roses to the Trial  Ground two years later.

'Piccadilly'. (11 votes). McGredy, 1959. 'McGredy's Yellow' x 'Karl Herbst'. Certificate of Merit, 1959. The inner face of the petals is scarlet, shading off to buttercup yellow towards the base. The reverse is pale buttercup yellow. In the autumn and under certain conditions the colours may be paler. The flowers are shapely at first, but being of only moderate petalage they open quickly and have only a slight fragrance. Growth is vigorous and upright, rather thorny, with beautiful, glossy, bronze-tinted dark green foliage. It is quick to repeat, opens freely in wet weather and is excellent in the autumn. Mr Raban and Mr James recommend that it be planted rather closer than usual. Mr Gault finds it very free flowering over a long period, while Mr Balfour describes it as a bicolour of clear colours, strong and healthy. Mr Shreeves feels that it is still the best bicolour, attractive in all its stages, with the foliage and habit of growth leaving nothing to be desired; Mr Raban finds that it needs watching for Black Spot and I share his experience. Mrs lddon describes it as a very gay rose, good in all weathers, with lovely bronze foliage turning to dark green. She never disbuds it as she likes to see the large heads of blooms en masse. There are several excellent sports from 'Piccadilly', similar to the parent except for the colour. 'Super Sun', a blend of orange and yellow and 'Mellow Yellow', a blend of pink and yellow, both received Trial Ground Certificates. Along with 'Harry Wheatcrof(. with blooms striped in scarlet and yellow, they make good companions to the parent.
