p110 [Photo]. Francesca This enchanting Hybrid Musk will grow up to 1.2m (4 ft) tall and equally as wide. It makes an ideal informal hedge. Although paling slightly over time, the large sprays of flowers are composed of blooms of differing ages, so the overall effect from a distance is bright yellow – no doubt the attraction for this foraging honeybee.

p12.  This brings to mind my good friend Keith Money, himself a native of New Zealand.  I well remember my first meeting with Keith.  It was a hot day in midsummer at my nursery, then at Swardston, near Norwich.  He lived at Caston, a village not far away.  Having heard that I was building up a collection of old roses, he had come to see what I was up to.  I soon realized that here was a kindred spirit, someone who loved roses, and my initial irritation at his intrusion into my time was quickly dispelled.  Of about my own age, he was very well known internationally as an artist, author, and photographer. In fact, as the latter Keith collaborated with me in photographing roses to ilustrate four little booklets I was writing on their history, published in the 1970s.  Before I met Keith he had already assembled a considerable collection of rare and historically important  roses..... Even more importantly, his painstaking research had led him to rediscover 'Lady Mary Fitzwilliam', an old Hybrid tea bred by the Victorian rose breeder Arthur Bennett and an important stud rose of its day.   Keith had discovered this rose in a nearby garden and it was confirmed as authentic by an elderly Australian who, when shown Keith's photograph of the rose by his  son Dean[e] Ross, a professional rose grower, recalled seeing it in the early 1900s when he was starting the Ross family's nursery.  At the time of its rediscovery this rose, too, had been thought commercially extinct. 

p116.  Introduced some 15 years later than 'La France','Lady Mary Fitzwilliam' also has fragrant, pink flowers, but this rose was raised by an Englishman, Henry Bennett.  It was rediscovered by Keith Money in 1975, having been thought extinct for many years.  A thorny plant with plenty of good foliage, it is slightly taller than 'La France' growing to about 75cm (2 1/2 ft), and is less prone to mildew. 

p236.  Lady Mary Fitzwilliam  Introduced Bennett, UK 1882.  Rediscovered Money, UK 1975.  Parentage: 'Devoniensis' x 'Victor Verdier'.  Shapely, high-centred, soft pink flowers flushed deeper pink.  Fragrant. Growth bushy, thorny.  Foliage copious, dark green.

p128.  Pink Gruss an Aachen Is a much deeper pink (than Gruss an Aachen) but in all other respects exactly the same, and just as charming I confess to being one of a number of nurserymen who, until recently, have distributed the pink form erroneously as 'Irene Watts', A mistake I regret but have now rectified.
