Sam McGredy: A painter had a housekeeper named Bobby Lucas, of whom he was extremely fond. He died before her. When his will was read, it was found he'd left $5,000 to have a rose named after her. I sent his solicitors a selection of new roses so they could pick a suitable one. The one they chose as 'Bobby Lucas' did moderately well.
