UPDATE. For those who were interested in this lovely rose a month ago, here
are some new facts.
The rose was named for the son of the raiser, a wealthy but obsessive
rosarian who lived c.100 years ago in a village in Somerset between Bath and
Bristol. he moved there from the north so that he could grow better tea
roses. The garden ws tiered in a series of terraces which faced south,
trapped the heat of the sun, and enabled the wood to ripen in a way that it
would not normally in the UK.
My source has more info and a photograph...but cannot find it at the moment.
