'Roy McAllister' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Who actually bred this rose? There are three breeders listed in the references.

Cant really say much as I've only had it about 3/4 months,( bought as on sale late season grafted bareroot ) but so far its looking good. No signs of the mildew or blackspot that have already found some of the other bareroots and a lot of the established roses in the garden so far. Lots of buds, and even a couple of blooms.

The name confused me, so I looked it up. Apparently it is popular outside of the US. They are pink and white sweets. Here is what they are made of:
Ingredients
250g sweetened condensed milk
250g icing sugar, sifted, plus extra for dusting
200g dessicated coconut
pink edible food colouring, optional
The name makes more sense now.

Its traditional to do it in two layers- you use pink colouring on the top layer, and cut it into small blocks when set, so it looks quite ornamental. One of the more appropriate rose names I have seen lately:)

Yeah, it made total sense, once I understood what it was. Thanks!

My favourite version has a third layer of chocolate - and hopefully the rose does not brown with age.
My 1962 C.W.A. (Country Womens Association) cookbook says 2 cups sugar, a pinch cream of tartar, half a cup of water or milk, 1 cup coconut, flavouring. Boil 5-10 minutes, beat, and pour on to a wet dish.

I'm not a sweet sperson, but it really makes me think about naming roses after other foods.
Whisky River BBQ Burger Rose?
Freedom Fries?
Lemon Sauteed Chicken?
Beef Pepper Steak? :D
teehee :]

Food? – yes, the mind could boggle. I think Sam McGredy IV snaffled a few of the boozy names with his Sherry, Kronenbourg, Arthur Bell, Courvoisier, Mme. Bollinger, Kiskadee, Nobilo’s Chardonnay, Foster’s Wellington/Melbourne cup, and Old Port.
I like Tit-bit for a mini. ( might use that one for one of my ‘Baby Faurax’ seedlings). Then there is Bitter Lemon, for a greenish-yellow, Liquorish – It’s a wonder Sam didn’t grab that one, and Molasses for a really dark black red.
No, not chocolate, Give me caffeine. Cocoa powder as one of the flavoured layers. But I am a bit of a sweet tooth. Now there’s a thought for another of the seedlings…..

Cocoa and coconut ice seems to me to be a bit like prawns and ice cream. Both great in their own right, but not a particularly good combination.
