Tess (MACramar); McGredy 1997; pale creamy apricot; 10 reports on 11 plants; 1-2 years; 1.1 metres; 6.9 rating. The first reports in on this new Mcgredy HT and the results are variable. North Otago says it has old fashioned form when open, healthy plant although it is still small. Hutt Valley says blooms are a soft apricot cream and very beautiful, makes large trusses of blooms, healthy plant, a floral artist's dream. Canterbury says healthy clean foliage, spring blooms blowsy, not impressed and colour does not appeal, banishing to the shrubbery. Northland finds it detests rain, grows well, might make a full open. Bay of Plenty finds the weather resistance is really poor. North Harbour says it balls badly in the spring with blooms like golf balls, when the weather warms up the flowers looked like the picture in the annual. Waikato says it is at its best in autumn, blooms ball up in the spring. From the comments it appears it is not suitable to grow where the rainfall is plentiful.
