'Allgold'....Some twenty years ago Le Grice told me of its origin, and how it justified the theory of making trial crosses. ....Seeking a yellow with good leaves, he hit upon Cant's 'Mrs. Beatty' (1926), in spite of its pale colour and frequently rounded centre; he crossed it with 'Yellowcrest', with the result of Ellinor Le Grice, which gave him the colour and foliage he wanted, although not quite the form of flower. It was rather globular, and the petals were frequently scalloped. That at least is Le Grice's version; the parents of 'Ellinor Le Grice' in the record books are 'Lilian' x 'Yellowcrest'. 'Lilian' was another yellow Hybrid tea of Cants, and it is possible that Le Grice's memory was not too certain. Due to the war, the introduction of 'Ellinor Le Grice' was delayed until 1949, twelve years after the cross was made.

The Development of Modern Yellow Roses
E. B. LE GRICE
My first true yellow was 'Yellowcrest', '35. It was a true, shining gold on a fairly strong plant, but with very thorny wood. It promised to be thoroughly good and then, without warning, after its first flowering it shed its leaves (as I have seen 'Austrian Yellow' do). It broke into growth once more and flowered freely in the autumn only to repeat the process. How to retain the colour and yet replace the foliage? It was not until the outbreak of the Second World War, when we were digging up and burning roses to make way for the food drive, that one bloom on three plants ('Lilian' x 'Yellowcrest') solved the problem, but the war years had to pass before this rose was named 'Eleanor Le Grice' and introduced in 1950. This rose was to have a profound effect on floribunda roses later.

....Mrs. Beatty was a clear yellow, and promised to be the needed parent. Yellowcrest was crossed with Mrs. Beatty and one seedling provided three plants as the Second World War broke out. Fortunately, a flower was seen while the rose beds were being cleared for food and the rose Ellinor Le Grice survived. It carried its unfading gold yellow into its progeny Allgold (Goldilocks x Ellinor Le Grice) together with one of the healthiest foliages we have. This patient search brought its reward, but it also brought out the fact that the pure yellow colour is linked with the globular bud brought in by the rose Mrs. Beckwith all those years ago. Breed back or forward, every time this colour appears so does the globular bud.
