Patrick Grant (rosarian)
Patrick Grant (1860–1945) was a Scottish-born Australian rose breeder. Two of his roses were world-famous at his death, though to some extent superseded since.
==Life==
Patrick Grant was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1860. He was the son of a stonemason and trained as a wheelwright. He migrated to New South Wales in 1885 and worked for 20 years as a building contractor. As a dairy farmer on virgin land at Nambucca River, Macksville on the north coast of New South Wales he developed a famous herd of Ayreshires. He and his wife Beatrice had eight children, six of whom worked as adults on their 400-acre farm.〔NSW death certificate 1945/015836〕 He thus appears as a successful small landholder, quite different from the members of the landed elite like Alister Clark and Olive Fitzhardinge who were the best known rose breeders of the time.
At the end of the nineteenth century, he sat on the North Sydney council. He was president of the Primary Producers Union 1904–1934. He was president of the National Rose Society of NSW 1929–1931 and stayed on the committee till 1943. The Society's championship cup for a rose exhibit is called the Patrick Grant Cup.〔Judith Oyston, forthcoming history of the National Rose Society of NSW.〕
He also had a Sydney North Shore address at 26 Clanwilliam Street, Chatswood from 1927 at least,〔Sydney phone directory entry〕 perhaps with the third of an acre behind the house now devoted to tennis courts. Alister Clark visited his and other Sydney rose breeders' gardens in 1928, so Grant must have had roses growing there.〔 Clark describes a visit to the gardens of Sydney rose breeders, including that of Grant.〕 Grant was 61 when his first rose was released, so it is possible all three roses he released were bred in retirement at Chatswood.
