Rose 'Toby Tristram' (or per a typo in an entry within your listing, 'Toby Tristam'. Your entry says it was bred by Mrs Targett c.1970. She may perhaps have had a role in introducing it to commerce, I don't know, but it was actually bred by my grandfather Major Guy Tristram who died in 1963. He named it after his second wife Kathleen who was known in the family as Toby. Guy bred a number of roses including one he named after my grandmother Ruth, but I think Toby Tristram is the only one that got into the trade and is still marketed. His son, my father David, continued the family tradition of breeding garden plants, such as Scabious Pink Mist, Spiraea Magic Carpet, Hellebore 'Rosemary'.
