Mischief HT Raised by McGredy, Auckland, New Zealand. Introduced 1961. Parentage Peace x Spartan. Coral salmon. Tiny buds first start to show colour when they are the size of the tip of your little finger, yet develop into big broad exquisitely-shaped fragrant blooms. Left alone the blooms grow in clusters and provide a mass of colour. Disbudded they provide cutting roses that can often reach exhibition quality. The winner of the RNRS President's Trophy with high points for fragrance and vigorous disease-free growth. Medium bushy habit.

'Mischief' Medium     Pink  Remontant    P4  H2    ***
We must turn back from BARB  and the present day, to  remember one of S. McGredy's  great successes in the years when everything in the rose garden was lovely. He bred 'Mischief from 'Peace' x 'Spartan', and introduced it in 1961. It can be the most beautiful of roses when the bushes are full of expanding blooms; regular form of the flowers is apparently repeated in every single one of them, a marvellous sight. The colour is salmon pink, without much of the red one associates with salmon. In the autumn it looks like another variety, due to an increase in orange. The story goes that when Sam was staging it at a show, Major-General Frank Naylor asked what he was calling it. Sam told him it had no name. 'Why don't you call it Mischief?' says the General. Later on, after Sam had accepted that suggestion, he discovered he  had named it after the General's dog.
