NOT Mrs Sam McGredy

20 years ago

I've posted a pic of her before (maybe it was last yr?) and no one responded that I recollect. I purchased this rose a few yrs ago from Sequoia Nursery as a tiny own-root. It took her a few yrs to grow, and when she bloomed I realized she might not be the good ol' "MRS SAM". She is a pretty tbing tho. Changes a bit with the weather. The first pic is from late April. The second one, late July; and the third from early August.

"NOT" MRS SAM MCGREDY

Anybody have any ideas? I'm guessing it would have to be something that Sequoia carries. I just last week received from The Uncommon Rose a brand new baby MRS SAM, so next season I will be able to compare them. Oh, and I can't remember whether she has any frgrance or not.... Sorry! She seems to be fairly disease resistant tho.

Sequoia also sells Sunset Song which looks like your rose in later stages theres a shot on Help me find that looks like an exact match. I thought of this because someone saw my Sultry when it started to fade and asked me if it was Sunset Song Sultry turns a pale buff yellowbrushed with pink as does sunset song.

Thanks for the suggestion LaBrea, but I also have SUNSET SONG (purchased from Sequoia) and it's way more orange. In fact, I guess you hadn't noticed that two of the photos on MHF are mine. I'm actually kinda leaning towards (maybe) MRS. AARON WARD. If I remember correctly, I think Sequoia's roses are grown alphabetically, so my guess would be it's gotta be something in the "M's." But I can't really tell from the photos on HMF for MRS AW. It looks close to the last photo. Maybe I should email Sequoia about it and maybe they'll be able to ID it for me.
