Book (1999) Page(s) 601. Includes photo(s). ‘Tracey Wickham’ Modern, Miniature, yellow blend, repeat-flowering. The flowers of this rose are bright yellow and edged with red. The florets are double with 30 petals and have a light fragrance. They are borne singly or in small clusters. The blooms are a bit large for a Miniature, so this plant would be better treated as a patio Rose. The foliage is semi-glossy and mid green on an upright bush. ‘Tracey Wickham’ has been described as a miniature form of ‘Redgold’. While the flowers have good potential exhibition form, the petals tend to move a little too fast to hold the form for long. It was named to honor a well-known Australian swimmer. Zones 5-10. Welsh, Australia, 1984. ‘Avandel’ x ‘Redgold’.
