Alyogyne 'Lady Barbara Rose' is a hybrid plant that appears intermediate between Alyogyne hakeifolia and Alyogyne huegelii with leaves that are broader than the those of Alyogyne hakeifolia, but glossier and more linear than Alyogyne huegelii.

Alyogyne 'Lady Barbara Rose' came to us in 2012 when our outside salesman John Koegler found it at a retail nursery customer labeled just as 'Barbara Rose' but we noted that Kartuz Nursery listed it as 'Lady Barbara Rose' and as a hybrid produced by noted Begonia hybridizer Brad Thompson. It has similar flowers but with broader leaves when compared with the patented variety 'Hutwow' bred by Graham Hutchins in England, which is listed as a hybrid between Alyogyne hakeifolia and Alyogyne huegelii.

We grew this attractive plant from 2015 until we closed the nursery in 2025 and also grew Alyogyne 'Ruth Bancroft', another plant with this same presumed parentage that was a spontaneous seedling hybrid that occurred at the Ruth Bancroft Botanic Garden in Walnut Creek California. It has thinner dissected leaf segments and a slightly lighter colored flower.
