Living close to the Le Grice nurseries in Norfolk at the time was the noted floral arranger, Mrs. Jocelyn Stewart who had shown a great interest in the brown-coloured roses being produced there. For that reason Mr. Le Grice immediately spoke to Mrs. Stewart when the first of the new roses came into bloom in his nurseries. "I told her the colour in a phone conversation," he said, "and my wife delivered the flower. When she arrived in the house Mrs. Stewart had RHS Colour Chart open on the exact colour shade of the rose!". The coincidence was too much - the rose had to be named 'Jocelyn' in her honour. It is another of the roses that brings delight or despair. The colour is a deep mahogany with touches of purple, and it is very definitely an arranger's rose.

Roy and Heather Rumsey, NSW. New Roses. 
Jocelyn (LeGrice). A most unusual colour which obviously will be loved or hated, there will be no halfway thoughts on this one.  The colour has been called matt mahogany, and we cannot think of any other way to describe it. A very good floribunda, and a real colour break. Rather prickly with very small thorns.
