Grecian rose geum 'Mrs. bradshaw'

Plant in a location that enjoys dappled sun and remember to water moderately. Ensure your soil has a ph of between 6.1 and 7.5 as Mrs. bradshaw is a weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

John (Jack) Bradshaw, and Kathleen (who was his cousin and wife) lived at The Grove, Southgate in north London. John Bradshaw was a keen gardener and was friendly with Amos Perry who had a nursery, Perry’s Hardy Plant Farm, at Enfield. Early in the 1900s Amos Perry gave the Bradshaw’s gardener, George Whitelegg, (who later had a famous nursery himself), a box of geum seedlings. George Whitelegg noticed that one was particularly good and named it after his employer’s wife, Mrs. J. Bradshaw.
The plant won an Award of Merit from the RHS in 1909. Mrs Bradshaw died in 1928.
