'Lorraine Lee' rose Reviews & Comments

The Argus Newspaper 29th December 1928
Lorraine Lee was an uncrossed seedling of Jessie Clark, but
Mr Clark thinks that Captain Millet, a Riviera rose, was the other parent.
The colour has the coral and prawn shadings of the modern Pernettiana type
without its weakness of constitution.

Re- Lorraine Lee clg. It seems that this magnificent climbing rose is only available in Australia, NZ, SA and USA. Availability in USA indicates that it is already accustomed to life in the Northern Hemisphere. So why is it not yet marketed in any Europen Country? It likes heat and is not so vigorous in conditions cooler than Australia. But there must be many gardens in the South of England where this rose might be very suitable for clothing a large arch. Perhaps it has been tried and found unsuitable. If anyone reading this can throw any light on these matters, perhaps they would let me know. 'Nyssaone' (xxxxxx@tiscali.co.uk) |

Lorraine Lee has been poor doer own-root even after 4 or 5 years in my very warm and dry low desert garden. I can only attribute this to extreme heat and lack of humidity. Teas thrive here but only look their best during our coolest season.
It seems she requires the best of everything to do well here. It could be I have a weak clone but I doubt it. I don't think she likes the desert. I'll bet she thrives in a temperate garden with more humidity and coastal influence.
