Notes:

From the Newsletter of the Huddersfield Choral Society, Nr. 13, Winter 2011: "A beautiful new rose has been bred specifically for us by Mr R Rawlins of Fixby to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Society. It is a floribunda in deep mauve with a silver underside. We expect delivery of the first 60 shrubs in October 2011, and these will retail at £10. The second growing of some 60-80 will be available in 2012. From 2013 it will be available on a commercial basis from Rogers of Pickering."
