Rose Listing Omission
‘McGredy Yellow’
As per Roses by Orietta Sala pg. 112
“Another shade of yellow can be found in ‘McGredy Yellow’, a classic hybrid tea from 1933 that enjoyed great success in its time because of the pretty shape of its yellow-and-cream flowers.
Not sure if this is a synonym of something or a rose not yet in HMF.

I see Jackson & Perkins is reintroducing 'La Di Da' this season, which prompted me to look at your entry for this rose, since I'm one of Tom Carruth's minions at the Huntington Library's Rose Garden. He was quite surprised at its re-entry into the market. Anyway, I notice the HMF entry on this rose asks that we contact you if anything more is known about the parentage. I asked Tom about it and he says it's 'Wild Blue Yonder' x unnamed seedling from Colin Pearce in the UK.
Hope that helps!

Excellent info! Thank you! Hopefully the HMF Admins will be able to update. Unfortunately, mine is dying and I'm not sure why. Just seems like a failure to thrive.

Or JP screwing up their storage and logistics. That was my experience last year, but they replaced all that had happened to.
