"Bishop's Lodge Precious Porcelain" rose Description

My HMF:

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.

It's a single, 5-petalled HT; lemon-yellow but the open bloom fades to cream in summer. The buds are very long. Glandular pedicels. Large hips, retaining long calyces. Mostly low-growing but can reach 5' / 1.5m. Commercially available, from the Friends of Bishop's Lodge (courtesy of Margaret)

Buds are a deeper gold. New growth is red. Hips retain their calyxes. Early reference describe "egg shaped" hips; the HelpMeFind photo shows round hips.

'Irish Harmony' 1904 is a possibility but was said to have more claret than the foundling shows.

‘Bloomfield Dainty’ 1924 has been eliminated as the two-inch blooms are too small.
'Ulster Gem' 1916 has been eliminated as it was consistently said to be "yellow".
