This consumentname is wrong. The rose and this description with this picture are all 'Gateway to Europe'. Thats why gateway is in the name CHEWgateway. The picture looks right for CHEWgateway. Golden Eye is CHEWgoldeneye and has lesser Petals compared to CHEWgateway. Other differences are the prickles. CHEWgoldeneye has lesser prickles as CHEWgateway, but that is not shown at this picture.
I cannot give you a URL, becouse it is not on the internet. This week an exemplar will arive at my garden. It is availlable at De Bierkreek in the Netherlands next Season.
Yes they are at the field right now growing. Becouse I am 'Friend of De Bierkreek' it was possible to get an exemplar before the introduction. But there was confusion about the names here too and today Chris Warner himselfses talked about the differences between this two Roses.
Found it. I have added ‘Gateway to Europe’ as a double rose, and changed ‘Golden Eye’ to a semi-double to double. For the moment I have just added a Note on both roses about the code names. I will also let Treloar Nursery know about this Comment. Very grateful for your help Marnix.
Marnix, and Michael (in another comment) - thank you! In order to find some clarification, I have added a few more references and opened a new file for ‘Peter’s Persica’ CHEWgoldeneye, introduced by Wharton’s in 202? Searching through this wholesaler’s website, I see they also stock ‘Eye of the Tiger’ CHEWbullseye 2006 (synonym ‘Ringo’) which looks pretty darn similar to Wharton’s photo of ‘Peter’s Persica’.
However, with ‘Eye of the Tiger’ most references call it a single, as does the patent (5-7 petals). The HelpMefind page is showing this as being semi-double to double. It seems that this should be changed to single, which I have done.
We need more references for ‘Gateway to Europe’.
At this stage we have: ‘Eye of the Tiger’ CHEWbullseye 2006 (synonym ‘Ringo’) single ‘Gateway to Europe’. CHEW……? “Years ago”. ‘Golden Eye’ CHEWgateway 2019 (syn ‘Rise Up Ringo’) double ‘Peter’s Persica’ CHEWgoldeneye, introduced by Wharton’s in 202? Single?
