'Martian Glow' rose References
Book (Apr 1993) Page(s) 362. Martian Glow Floribunda, Flowers red, reverse lighter [mr], 1972, 'Joseph's Coat' x 'Dorothy Wheatcroft'; Gandy.
Magazine (1975) Page(s) 22. Gandy's Martian Glow does not have novel colouring. It is light crimson, paler on the reverse, with semi-double flowers usually borne very freely in clusters over a long period. Growth is vigorous and somewhat spreading but I have been unable to detect any fragrance . There are many older shrub roses in this colour group and the fact that it was awarded a T.G.C. in 1970 is a tribute to its good qualities ...
Book (1974) Page(s) 74. Nigel Raban. The Men Behind the New Roses. Douglas Gandy. In 1972 a TGC went to his new shrub 'Martian Glow' ('Coup de Foudre x 'Joseph's Coat'). This carries semi-double red flowers and has a fine record of remontancy.
