In Australia, at least one very big cut flower rose nursery regards ‘Fraser McLay’ as the best red rose in polyhouses. It is of truly bright crimson colouring, as is desired by buyers. This is the colour wanted universally worldwide but it has not been grown or known elsewhere. Also, it produces freely to each square metre of space in the polyhouse – a very important commercial consideration. It was raised by George Dawson in Victoria.
