Page 47. B.L. Molly (Rose 25) – We refer to the colour of this bloom as “Shamrock Pink” as the colour appears a perfect match for the Shamrock flowers (Pink Oxalis) which are naturalized in much of the garden. This is another recurrent rose with flowers a slightly lighter shade than those of Rose 4. [“B.L. Speragina”] Rose 25 has slightly rounded leaves on a regularly-shaped healthy bush. New growth is red and it appears to be a Hybrid Tea.

“[Bishop’s Lodge] Molly”. Named for a granddaughter of Bishop Anderson and a benefactor of the garden. Blooms of Molly are shamrock-pink matching the oxalis that has naturalised in the garden. A very healthy, very recurrent sturdy bush.

Should be pretty easy to identify because it is scrolling open from a high centred bud. Opening out around this high-centered bud. The whole rose is only about an inch and a half high – possibly 2” when fully open.

p13. Penny McKinlay. I bought home to Queensland’s Darling Downs a “Bishop’s Lodge Molly” (we have a three year old grand daughter called Molly). I planted her with fear and trepidation – thinking of our conditions but she is very happy and Molly and I check on her regularly and she flowered all summer with a lovely clear pink.
