According to David Austin's 2009 Handbook of Roses, they named this rose in memory of their old friend who encouraged countless number of people to spend more time in their garden.

just recently planted my bare root and it's budding leaves. Will see how it does here in zone 11.

8/02/04 changing from neutral to postitive rating as just a month from planting, and have my 1st flower, and it is lovely. think romantic, think feminine, and this is it. not much scent at all, don't know if that will change as the plant matures or if it is the affect of the climate. of 12 roses planted this was not the 1st to bloom, but it has grown the most. Very pleased.

Of all my English roses, this one is a real winner! It is like iron! Resistant to everything, even rabbits! I would rate "Jeff" as near to a Canadian Explorer rose as one could get.
The flowers are wonderful as is the scent!
For anyone in the midwest, this is a winner!
