p215 Alister had a friend at Kyneton, another daffodil breeder, Hugh Dettman. Both he and Dr. Groves at Kyneton “tried out” roses for Alister to determine whether they should be released. In a letter of Alister’s I found reference to the fact that .... and ‘Peggy Bell’ were doing well in Dettman’s garden. Hugh Dettman is long dead. So I rang his daughter and obtained permission to visit his one-time garden. The house had been let ever since his death..... I took cuttings from nine or ten of the better-looking rose bushes....
‘Peggy Bell’ was described as resembling, in colour and form, ‘Betty Uprichard’ (pronounced U-prichard). After long searching I found a colour photograph of ‘Betty Uprichard’ in an American book Roses of the World in Colour, by Horace McFarland. It could have been a photograph of my rose from Dettman’s garden. Given that we knew it was growing there and doing well, I think we might almost be safe in concluding that we have ‘Peggy Bell’.
