NOTE: In 1962 Royal Albert designer Harold
Holdcroft, inspired by the quintessential British garden, released Old Country
Roses. The pattern is immediately recognized by ardent collectors and casual
admirers the world over, with its signature patches of roses in rich reds,
vibrant pinks and soft yellows that counteract beautifully with golden rims and
stunning accents throughout.
