NEW
Hayley Westenra Hybrid Tea |
The sensational new Hybrid Tea named in
honour of New Zealand singing star Hayley Westenra to raise funds for UNICEF.
Thanks to a very fast reply from George, in New Zealand, here's the latest
update on this very lovely rose...
Hello Peter
Thank you for your email. The rose we market in New Zealand in support of
UNICEF NZ's fund raising efforts in Africa was bred by the German rose company
Rosen-Tantau. As a Master Agent/Rose introducer for Rosen-Tantau in NZ, we
are able to promote their varieties using names which we feel suit our market
- we were very fortunate to get the support of UNICEF NZ on this. The rose
we are selling as Hayley Westenra is being marketed in the UK as Rachel (
its international trademark name is tanguste) - this is because they received
the variety before we did in New Zealand and the Master Agent in the UK decided
to call the variety Rachel - it is the same rose.
If you make contact with Thomas Loffler, at Rosen-Tantau - email tantau@rosen-tantau.com
he will be able to tell you where you might locate plants of Rachel - in
time for the concert on 23 September.
I hope this is of some help to you.
Best wishes
George Pratt
Worldwide name - Tangust. Created by Tantau in Germany.
In Germany this is "Augusta Luise".
In the United Kingdom this is "Rachel".
In New Zealand (and shortly in Sloane Terrace and many other places
thereafter methinks) this is "Hayley Westenra".
(Drew adds: "I graduated with Honours in Botany
in 1972. I knew that it would have a use one day.")
Wonderful
large peach pink blooms with frilled edges to the petals. The blooms
seem small at first but as they open they grow larger and larger,
some reaching 15 cms across. Growth is bushy and vigorous, almost
shrub like! Disease resistance is very good. Named for the Gardening
presenter Rachel De Thame.
(This
is the description from Apuldram.) |
15 cms is a lot of buttonhole.
It is classified as VF (Very Fragrant).
Known as Rachael in some countries, this is none-the-less
the same rose-stock. It is also available from Germany - details follow:
