Rosa ‘Lane’
Hybrid Perpetual. Paul describes the flowers as rich purplish rose, sometimes vivid, large and full with an expanded form, occasionally fine, on a moderate, erect shrub. [Paul (1848, 1863)].
Horticultural & Botanical History
Raised by Laffay and introduced in 1842. The Gardeners’ Chronicle in 1847 described this rose on a visit to Lane’s Nursery in London. The flowers were crimson-pink, tinted purple, considered to be good on its own roots. Probably named for the nursery, Lane’s, that introduced it to England.
History at Camden Park
Listed in the 1850 and 1857 catalogues [T.893/1850]. Obtained from Veitch’s Nursery in the same importation as ‘Narcisse’. Believed to be new to the colony. [ML A1980-3].
Notes
This rose is distinct from the Moss rose called ‘Lane’, introduced by Robert in 1860 and from Rosa ‘Moss Lanei’ which see.
