World’s favorite rose
David Austin’s rose ‘Graham Thomas’ was recently awarded the title of World’s Favorite Rose by the World Federation of Rose Societies. Something to brag about if you’ve got one.
If you don’t know ‘Graham Thomas’ it’s a biggin’ with butter yellow cupped blossoms and strong scent that the rose snobs describe as tea rose with a cool violet character.
The books say it grows to 4 feet—in California you could make that an easy 8. And don’t believe what you read about it blooming in the shade, it doesn’t.
But a gorgeous cut flower all around. Tally ho!
whatever
