Rosa 'Emily Gray' ↗

I started Rosa 'Emily Gray' ↗ to fill a gap in a list, but this really isn't my area, so I thought you might have some insight in improving the article. Cheers! <span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span> '''T''' 03:41, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
:{{reply to|BD2412}}, Thanks for thinking of me! I created quite a few rose articles a few years ago, but after one of them went through a deletion discussion over notability concerns and was deleted, I stepped back from creating additional rose pages. The discussion made me concerned that other rose pages might also be challenged, and I did not want to invest heavily in new pages that might later be deleted. Hopefully 'Emily Gray' will not run into the same issues. I’m on vacation at the moment, but when I get home I’ll check my rose reference books to see whether I can find anything useful. If I expand the article, I may also rework some of the quoted material into summarized prose using the McFarland source. MauraWen (talk) 22:29, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
:: Many thanks. The outcome of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rosa 'Botticelli' ↗ was suboptimal. There should be a list article on cultivars to which titles like that can redirect, with some information on cultivars that fall below the threshold of having an individual article. <span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span> '''T''' 22:42, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
::::{{reply to|BD2412}} I had forgotten about your request until this week. Improved the article with additional content and sources. It looks like a lovely rose! I just added "Emily Gray' to Cant of Colchester's list of selected roses, so at least its no longer an orphan. MauraWen (talk) 18:40, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::: Many thanks, the expansion is fantastic! <span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span> '''T''' 19:09, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
