Walter Easlea (the son) wrote an article called Reminiscences which appeared in the The National Rose Society 1935.

I became interested in the two Easlea men a few years back. I have this 1935 article by Walter Easlea (the son) on file, but it is five pages long.

I also have another article written in 1896 by Walter Easlea (the father), but that too is five pages.

And then there are another six pages on what I found on the two men, and their roses. It is all most interesting to students of Easlea, but I am not sure that Helpmefind can accept messages of such verbosity????

Dear Patricia, I hope this reply to your message 11 years ago reaches you. I live about half a mile from the site of the old Easlea nursery. I am researching the history of the family business and their rose breeding in the hope that I can interest a local nursery in stocking some Easlea roses and thereby giving the Easlea name the prominence it deserves again here in Essex at least. I would be very interested in seeing the articles that you have. With many thanks, Dawn
