Can anybody help me please? I am trying to find out the background history and details/information about a rose that I have called "Spanish Lady"? It is a light red HT, with overtones of black stripes, mid-green Fol, vigorus & erect growth, semi-double blooms, and slightly fragrant. I would like to know year & place of release, and it's parentage if possible. Thank you in anticipation of some info.

I am sorry, but I don't understand your post. Do you mean (1) is "Mme. Gregoire Staechelin" the correct name (or synonom) for "Spanish Lady"?; or (2) that one of it's parents might be "Mme. Gregoire Staechelin"?; or (3) something else? Please enlighten me - thanks for your reply.

Another name for 'Mme. Gregoire Staechelin' is 'Spanish Beauty', so it was a guess on my part. However as 'Spanish Beauty' is pink, and 'Spanish Lady' is red it was probably a bad guess. I do have a Trewallyn 1997 catalogue and the wording is exactly as you have said. But I have never seen 'Spanish Lady' listed elsewhere. Do you have a photograph of the rose? Someone needs to contact Trewallyn Nursery, near Bundaberg in Queensland to ask for more info on the rose. Is there a Queenslander out there who could do so?

Thank you for clarifying your question, and yes I do know about that one, although I did not realize that 'Mme. Gregoire Staechelin' was a synonym for it. Thanks for that new tid-bit of info! As for 'Spanish Lady', I bought that originally from Trevallyn Nursery, and have already asked them about it, and they were unable to help me further - so far at least - but we are both working together to try and find out more about the rose, because apparently they have also received other requests for it's parentage.

We will make a file for 'Spanish Lady' so that when you have photos or new information, it can go straight into the file.
