Valerie Webster

For the first month of 2021, we feature one of the winners from the NZRS International Rose Trials in Palmerston North which were announced at the end of November.

Clusters of pure yellow blooms, lightly scented feature on a very healthy, medium growing plant with glossy green foliage. Named in celebration of Zonta International’s Centennial year in 2019 and for their beloved past Governor Valerie Webster. Presented with a Certificate of Merit at the NZRS Trials 2020.

Bred by Bob Matthews of Matthews Nurseries Ltd, Wanganui, it is a rose we will see more of over the coming years. Available from Matthews Nurseries Ltd or their resellers.

    Wonderful colour. Happy New Year NZ rose lovers. I may never get back to Hamilton to your Rose Show, but hope things may improve everywhere soon. Found my Thank you letter for trophy donation yesterday. Lovely memory.
