    'Sir Walter Raleigh' rose Reviews & Comments

    RoseSir Walter Raleigh (hybrid tea, Le Cornu 1919)
    Initial post 20 DEC 15 by Nastarana
    From the American Rose Annual, 1919, p. 132, "Rose Notes"


    "Sir Walter Raleigh is to be the name of a new rose to be sent out in the autumn of 1919 by Philip le
    Cornu, of Highview, Queen's Road, Jersey (England). Mr. le Cornu adds to the name of the rose "Governor of Jersey", but six words is too much name for any rose. It is "a cross between Melanie Soupert and Louise Catherine Breslau, with mildew- proof Pernetiana foliage," which sounds interesting and hopeful."

    Thanks Nastarana. This is a different parentage which we have notated it on the main page. I can find no more references to the rose.
