....Although this completes my list it does seem strange that there are no reds included but they all fall short for some reason or other. 'Evelyn Fison' and 'LiIIi Marlene' both have nasty thorns while otherwise being up to standard.

p24. Pencil sketch of 'Evelyn Fison'.

p96 'Evelyn Fison' was named in 1962 for the wife of the managing director of the Fison fertilizer company; the company used the rose in colourful beds around its offices in the large converted hotel it has at Felixstowe, and also at its branches, and sent plants to its customers in many places.

p110 I encountered professional P.R. for the first time in the person of Bob Aylwin....and in the event Bob remained as P.R. man for McGredy's nursery for a period of ten years. He had a lot of sound ideas and he did some very good things for me. He was responsible for the arrangements that led up to the naming of the 'Evelyn Fison' rose for Fisons and we did a lot of business from that - I sold a quarter of a million roses in one year.

p121 ....and 'Evelyn Fison got the gold medal for a red floribunda.
