[Back-Translation of "A Persian Story" by Chris Warner, translated into Dutch by Els de Krijger]
.... in 1982 the price had dropped and I bought 'Tigris' (H. persica x 'Trier'). I was lucky enough to choose R. Baby Love ('SCRivluv') as a pollen parent. This rose by Len Scrivens is a descendant of 'Sweet Magic' and has excellent disease resistance. In 1986 I had about 20 seedlings from this crossing, nicknamed Tag, Tog, Tug, Tingle, Tang, Tiggle, etc.....A few years later, Ronnie Rawlings, also an ARBA (Amateur Rose Breeders Association) member, asked me if he could join the project. I didn't have any 'Tiggle' plants left, so I gave him 'Tingle'.....Rawlins crossed 'SCRivbell' with 'Tingle' and got two good reblooming seedlings with pretty good eyes. One, however, was not in good health and in the other healthy one the eyes were almost the same color as the petal. Undeterred, another member of the group, Peter James, got to work with the unhealthy seedling and crossed it with his own rose R. Blue for You ('PEJamblue') and yes, one of the seedlings from this crossing was a success. The eyes were large and purple, while the petals were cream, providing a nice contrast and a bonus good scent. We have commercialized this rose as R. Eyes for you ('PEJambigeye').
