Rose "Prince Igor"
Years ago, I found a rose label drifting in the rose bed unattached to
any rose. It said "Prince Igor". I've been unable to find any information of this rose despite years of looking. It's not in the Botanica or any of the other multiple rose books I have. I've also tried google but get nothing but Stravinsky. Does anyone know anything about this rose? I am wondering if it might be a rich deep blood red rose that I can't identify (mind you, I also have others but I think the name sounds more like a red than a pale lemon one I can't identify) |

That makes sense as the nursery that supplied the plants for my garden for the original owners of my garden were heavily into Meillands. And it IS red, just as I thought with a name like that :-)) |

Funny you should mention that, a friend has been trying to lend it to me for ages! I've been saying 'no' as all I can cope with at the moment is Lilian Beckwith and Miss Read. I'm still a bit Chemo fog brained to read anything else. |

I'm still a bit Chemo fog brained to read anything else. Funny - I had a 'Miss Read' phase the other day, prompted by the grand daughter having a teacher called Miss Read! Amazing how 'cosy' that world was but it really did exist and I think it a pity it's gone. I haven't read Lilian Beckwith for yonks but I loved that affectionate and gentle look at another way of life. Janet B might enjoy those, if she hasn't read them already. Somewhat along the same lines - or perhaps just the overall 'feel' of her books - I enjoy Maeve Binchy as entertaining reads. I think you'd find For Love of a Rose fairly undemanding in terms of highs and lows of emotion and it's not a book you have to 'study'. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

from "Farm1" please@askifyouwannaknow contains these words: "Sacha" wrote in message Meilland developed the lovely Peace rose and if you haven't read the book For Love of a Rose, I think you'd enjoy it very much.

I'm still a bit Chemo fog brained to read anything else. I don't think you would have a problem. It is a lovely story in its own right - even if one doesn't take on board all the history side of the story first time round. I'm sure I could read it but the trouble is retention at the moment. I'd like to be able to remember it whereas it doesn't matter if I forget the Miss Read or Lillian Beckwith content because I know I'll reread them again in a few years time. .... now to whom did I lend it? Well obviously someone who has not returned it. :(( Isn't that a pain? |
