'First Great Western' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Currently blooming here. Color is a clear silvery lavender, with a more magenta edge. When it was 105F out for a week or two, it was considerably darker colored. But, yes, it does actually have substantial lavender coloring in it.

I would appear that no one in North America is selling this beauty. Do you know of a commercial source?

Thank you for all you do! Sorry, I should have converted it into inches ... By the way, it is not sold as a hybrid tea, but as a cluster-flowered rosebush (floribunda, therefore, I presume ... ).

Probably because the catalog and MR12 label it an HT. So, I guess, it is officially an HT. However, it looks floribunda-like to me in the photos. We gardeners don't get to label them, as we unfortunately know.
Plant architecture reminds me a bit of 'Colorific', which is a large-flowered floribunda, with huge candelabras.
Then again, I've seen floribundas with larger blooms than some of the UK HTs, and some American floribundas with larger blooms than some HTs anywhere, so, yeah. Fun stuff.

More blooms now than in summer ... does it prefer wetter, cooler conditions? Though the blooms get spoilt with the rain ...
