[Back-Translation of "A Persian Story" by Chris Warner, translated into Dutch by Els de Krijger] .... in 1982 the price had dropped and I bought 'Tigris' (H. persica x 'Trier'). I was lucky enough to choose R. Baby Love ('SCRivluv') as a pollen parent. This rose by Len Scrivens is a descendant of 'Sweet Magic' and has excellent disease resistance. In 1986 I had about 20 seedlings from this crossing, nicknamed Tag, Tog, Tug, Tingle, Tang, Tiggle, etc. The healthiest of these was 'Tiggle', a ground cover with a beautiful bright blotch, but the bloom was already over halfway through the summer. I set up a growing project with six other amateur breeders, with the agreement that everything that came from Tiggle would first be offered to me again....Meanwhile [after 1988] he group was toiling with 'Tiggle', which led to nothing at all. 'Tiggle' behaved like a sterile mule and firmly refused to yield anything of any value. A few years later, Ronnie Rawlings, also an ARBA (Amateur Rose Breeders Association) member, asked me if he could join the project. I didn't have any 'Tiggle' plants left, so I gave him 'Tingle'.

Chris Warner crossed 'Tigris' with 'Baby Love' (raised from 'Sweet Magic') and was rewarded with as clutch of promising seedlings. One, with bronze flowers and a dark red eye, which flowered up to September, he codenamed CHEWtiggle. I think it was probably the first Persica to win an International award, at St. Albans in the 2001 Trials.
