Ellen Willmott (August 19, 1858 - September 27, 1934), English horticulturalist, who cultivated more than 100'000 species of plants in her garden Warley Place. She published "The Genus Rosa" in 1910-14. Different opinions on breeder - see References. 'Ellen Willmott' by Bernaix had double blooms. It is often confused with the more recent 'Ellen Willmott' by Archer, which has single blooms.
