Under 'Papa Hemeray' I believe the height is meant to read one foot, not one inch to 18*.

Yes. I guess in this case when someone was typing the 1, they forgot to add the 2. (In this rare case of chocolate maths, 1+2 = 12 [inches])
Two plants in gravel, of my three own-root roses are 12 inches. The third in deep acid loam is at least 36 inches and probably a bit more. There is a reference which says it is tall. So have corrected the height to 12-36 inches. Thank you Darrell.

Looking at photo 290389, I'd say the one at Renmark was at least 36" tall. But the HRIA roses there were given the same fertiliser regime as the cut-flower beds.

I recently saw a few Papa Hemeray roses blooming in the Tulsa, Oklahoma Rose Garden.
It was among the very few roses that appeared to be totally healthy, with no visible blackspot at all. Almost thornless, and the lovely single blooms were a bright "hot pink" rather than the red I'm seeing in photos. The center of the bloom is white...very similar to the appearance of the rose "Mozart". I don't know how old these roses were, but they were not at all tall, but quite spreading in growth habit. I hope to find some of these roses, as cherish disease resistance and thornlessness, and love the bright hot pink color, as well.

Could the rose you saw have been the polyantha 'Eglantine' bred by Constant Soupert in 1930? They look much alike, though the color on 'Papa Hemeray' is more pink than red, the leaves are quite a dark green, and it has some prickles, whereas 'Eglantine' is redder, has pale green leaves, and is virtually thornless--at least that is the case of my two plants.
