The parentage of this rose is Mme Edmond Rostand seedling, according to Walter Easlea's notes on the margin of The Rosenlexicon which is now owned by the curator of the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. See the Central Coast Heritage Rose Group webpage at http://members.cruzio.com/~perry/easlea

"Lulu" was named by Walter Easlea after his Daughter-in-Law Louisa Easlea (nee Webb) who was married to his son George Easlea.

Hi I was just wondering who you are - as I am also related to Walter b 1859(via his brother George). If Vivienne in NZ, we are in fact already sort of in contact via my brother. Regards

Can you tell us more about your grandfather or his roses. We would love to include more information about him on the site.

I haven't got much info for you as am not directly descended from Walter or his son George - instead I am related to Walter's younger brother (also George) We did have a Easlea's Golden Rambler in our garden when growing up though! I know Walter was born in the Colchester district in 1859 and the family moved to Stamford in Lincolnshire in about 1870 before moving to Cheshunt a few years later.

I am married to David Easlea, son of John Keith Easlea and Audrey Skinner. We live in the US (Philadelphia area) and have four, large Easlea Golden Ramblers, originally ordered from a nursery in Canada, now in their 4th year in the front of our house. When in blossom, they are a lovely sight with a beautiful scent during the month of June. Janet Morris Easlea

Hi Would love to work out how I may be related to your husband. Rather than hijack the Roses website perhaps you would email me direct (rosie.rust@tiscali.co.uk)? I must move house and find room for another Golden Rambler. I do remeber it was lovely, if vigorous!

How neat! I've grown your great grandfather's rose for many years! Mr. Ralph Moore used it to create his Hybrid Bracteata roses, so I had to grow it. The buds are very long and elegant. The color is delicious and it looks wonderful in a vase of single Hybrid Teas. Thank you for sharing with us. Now, I can really enjoy Lulu, knowing for whom she was named!

I have been searching for sources of Easlea's roses and came across your message. I have growing in my garden Easlea's Golden Rambler and Thelma but unfortunately am unable to source Lulu in New Zealand so am happy to hear that you are able to enjoy it.
