Lady Banks Rose was named after Joseph Bank's wife. Joseph Banks was a botanist who went on many travels to find new species all over the world. Most noted for his voyage with Captain James Cook's "First Great Voyage" aboard the HMS Endeavor.
When James found the flower (from China), he named it in honor of his wife; Dorothea Hugesson
And what a flower it IS!!!! Thank you Sedona for sharing this delight...
