Mr. Peter Burton. ‘Karen Julie’ Hybridist Bill Allender of Victoria. This rose was passed on to us by Dr. Allan Campbell, who has a long association with Bill. This many-petalled Hybrid Tea exhibition rose, bright orange in colour and an early flowerer is very special to us as it was our first “Champion” exhibition rose from our new garden in Houghton.
