| Does Home Depot happen to change the name of an original roses name given by a grower of the rose I was wondering if this rose was called the Angela Lansbury rose which my uncle Jerry Twomey bred who just recently passed I was just curious. Thank you in advance. Steve Brennan |
| Home Depot does not change the names of their roses. Here's what I have on the Arizona Grandiflora Rose: Name: Arizona Synonym: Tocade Designation: WEKrina Class: Modern Cluster Flowered (Grandiflora) Hybridizer/Date: Weeks, USA 1975 Parentage: ((Fred HowardXGolden Scepter)x Golden Rapture) x ((Fred HowardXGolden Scepter)x Golden Rapture) Fragrance: Sweet Strong Fragrance ARS Color: Orange Blend Awards: AARS 1975 You're right. The Angela Lansbury Rose was bred in the United States in 1995 by Jerry F. Twomey. It's a large-flowered hybrid tea (not a grandiflora), in a pink blend. It was patented in the USA on Jan. 6, 1998. While the roses may appear similar, they're not the same plant. Hope this answers your question! |
