Huge blooms, vibrant colour, should be much more readily available commercially. One of my favourite modern roses.
Bred by Tasmania's much loved Lilia Weatherly.

Hello Abbi, Indeed, a beautiful rose.
Did anything come of a thought to make a public garden somewhere in Tasmania of Lilia's roses?

There are a couple of small public areas planted with Lilia's roses in The Claremont/Austins Ferry area. 'Light Touch' is along a fenceline at a shopping centre and the other area is a public park. Maintenance is a bit of a problem as the council doesn't seem able to fertilize and water on a regular basis. Lilia used to do that job herself. Thank you for the reminder, I will make enquiries about those areas and see if our regional group can organise maintenance somehow.

Wonderful. Lilia's roses are not really old-heritage, but are part of Tasmania's heritage. As they sprinkle, watering-can volunteers might like to remember how Lilia searched diligently for old roses throughout Tasmania. The old issues of the Heritage Roses in Australia journal gave many instances.
