Notes:
  • “This rose’s namesake, Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, is a paternal cousin of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. She was sixth in line to the throne at the time of her birth, but has now dropped to 50th. She is a working member of the Royal Family and is patron or president of more than 100 organizations. Princess Alexandra is also known as a keen gardener and a great lover of roses.” --- www.royal.uk/princess-alexandra 

  • “In 1983 David experienced his first real breakthrough when he introduced three English Roses at the Chelsea Flower Show, including the rose named after his good friend and mentor, the revered horticulturist, Graham Thomas.  David credited ‘Graham Thomas’ with being the rose most responsible for the recognition and success of the English Roses.  The following year saw the first of many gold medals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and the David Austin rose garden gradually became one of the highlights for visitors, which continues to this day.” --- “Discover More About David Austin” at www.davidaustinroses.com
