2010 - NEW INTRODUCTIONS

MAID OF HONOUR (Jacwhink)            £7.50

 

It may only have five petals, but what a performer this rose is!  The bushes are literally smothered in dainty, delicate pale pink flowers, with tiny mid green glossy foliage.  Habit is manageable, so you may wish to classify “Maid of Honour” as a Shrublet.  It makes a superb container grown rose and also is fantastic as a half standard, pictured.   Its disease and weather resistance is truly terrific.  Also awarded a Trials Ground Certificate from the RNRS in 2009.

ALEXANDER’S ISSIE (Dicland)             £7.50    

 

July 2010 saw Dickson Nurseries Ltd. launch a rose symbolic of Mr McQueen’s memory of Isabella Blow, nurtured tenderly and thoughtfully to reflect Isabella’s distinct personality and character.

 

Dickson Nurseries and Mr McQueen searched through hundreds of seedlings to find the perfect combination to create a flower encapsulating the timeless elegance both of Alexander’s designs and Isabella’s flamboyant beauty.  The resulting rose comprises a distinct pallet of coral and peach.  The specimen is testimony not simply to her own glamour, but also their combined passion for the ornate and intricate.

 

Available to purchase from Dickson Nurseries later this year, the coral pink flower “Alexander’s Issie” reflects Isabella’s unique, colourful personality, with buds of overlapping petals channelling her love of fashion and opulent dressing.

 

The rose was launched on July 5th, at Hampton Court Flower Show, see picture below featuring (left to right) Kate Jones representing the McQueen press office, Colin Dickson and Julia Delves Broughton, Isabella’s sister.
