'Maid Marion' rose References
Book (2006) Page(s) 276. Maid Marion *New. Rambler. Occasional rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Habit [diagram] 3. Wals, 1909. [Provenance: Russo]. Single bright pink flowers fade to white at the centers; the petals are held apart with great poise and have a lighthearted dance to them that is very engaging. A great American treasure to be shared with our generation thanks to Dan Russo.
Website/Catalog (2005) Page(s) 19. Maid Marion (Walsh, 1909, parentage un-recorded, most likely R. wichurana x R. multiflora). Who could resist a rose with so romantic a name? This little-known Rambler blooms in large clusters of open, glowing, rose-pink single blooms. Individual flowers are large (2 to 2.5-inch) and slightly fragrant. A white eye is cradled by distinctively in-curved petal tips. Foliage is large, glossy, and medium-green. If you know 'American Pillar', think of 'Maid Marion' as a more refined and airy version of that famous rose, but with better foliage, and fragrance. (Donated by Dan Russo).
