Having grown this particular Chrysanth for nearly 20 years i feel it is time to find its name, it came from an old Victorian walled garden in North Yorkshire during a time when carrying out a major refurbishment to the owners property, can anybody help identify it

I've got one the same. Other chrysanths come and go, but this one just keeps soldiering on. :-) I got mine from a car boot sale - the seller *thought* it was pink & that's all the info I got.

Similar in form, leaf shape, and blooming habit to one that I had some 40 years ago, an heirloom from my aunt in Pennsylvania. I never found its name either, but that may give you an idea about its vintage. On mine, the ray flowers were more of a rust red, but otherwise, they could be twins.

no idea on the name and no one has managed to find out for me either.
