1805 – 1869 chimiste et médecin anglais, entre autres, pionnier de la dialyse.

G. Thomas is one of a few David Austin "New English Roses" i have found to be worthwhile in the U.S. Gulf Coast Region. Zone 8b. 56 " rain much of it typically in the winter. I have it on its own roots, ~10 years old. Tendency to get leggy unless judiciously pruned. Will climb or can be pruned as a 5-6 ft shrub. Will also cover a wall if offered support such as trellis or wires and good nutrition. One of only three, of the half dozen i have tried that does well here. The others are "The Pilgrim", and "Gertrude Jekyll" the latter is outstanding here if pruned back each year fairly hard and a very important Austin introduction as it is a perfect replacement for the great rose Comte de Chambord which struggles here due to disease.
