I sometimes wonder who Graham Thomas was, I am guessing a good gardener because both the rose and the honeysuckle named for him are really good. Grew both at our last house, the honeysuckle is a strong grower and has great scent, the rose we grew as a stand alone specimen as we were told it can suffer in company, lovely yellow rose with buds that made a great buttonhole.

Thank you for that, Nigelj, an interesting article. He sounds as though he was a very English Englishman in the best possible sense.

The weigela part of Weigela's botanical name comes from a German scientist named Christian Ehrenfried Weigel.
