Mrs. Con Ryan. Western Australia. I place the accent on growing a good rose rather than too much dressing and fiddling. Such types as ‘Megan Louise’ and ….need little or no dressing and can be shown as picked from the garden, which is wonderful.

p24 Eric Welsh of Gosford, New South Wales ….His elder daughter hadn't missed out as a hybrid tea rose, named 'Megan Louise', became the first Australian-bred rose to be voted Rose of the Year by nurserymen.

p28. It’s expected that Eric Welsh of Gosford, New South Wales, will be the President of the National Rose Society of Australia in 1988. He has a very beautiful rose garden and is a good hybridist. ‘Megan Louise’, one of his creations has been on sale for a couple of years..... It is a very beautiful large pink rose with excellent form and a very vigorous plant.

p87 Mr. Len Johnstone, Queensland. ‘Megan Louise’ has everything to make it a good exhibition rose, lovely colour, good form, but too many split centres.

p92 Mr. Kevin Johns, Queensland. ‘Megan Louise’. No need to explain to Rose Society people about this one. Except, that at my home in Brisbane it suffers with split centres in spring, but we do get some very nice blooms in autumn.

p97 Mr. Dean Stringer, South Australia. ‘Vol de Nuit, ‘Alpine Sunset’ and ‘Megan Louise’ would rate at number seven, eight and nine. I have had many good blooms of each, but they have always come a week or so after the shows.

p99 June and Don Phillips, Western Australia. ‘Megan Louise’ Bush is rather slow in developing – third year in garden. Colour is an attractive deep rose pink with a lighter centre. Form is exhibition quality, but many blooms have split centres.

This pink rose won the best Australian-raised rose at the Rose Society of Victoria Spring Rose Show in 1982. Colour deep pink. Good form. Some confused centres.

‘Megan Louise’ HT (Welsh). This Australian raised rose is a well-formed flower of over 40 petals. The colour is a deep rose-pink in the bud, and as the bloom unfolds the inner petals are lighter. Commences blooming early in the season, and continues until late, on a well-balanced plant. Fragrant. For the excellent performance of this rose over a period of several years it was selected as ‘R.A.F.T. Rose of the Year” for 1984. The raiser of this rose has donated it to The National Rose Society of Australia who will benefit from the sale of this cultivar.
