National Rose Trial Garden of Australia

I have been entering the Australian awards for roses on to Helpmefind and note that there appears to be some confusion in the National Rose Trial Gardens website under - Award Winners. The situation as far as I see it is:
The Trial 1 awards for 1996-1998 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 1999, page 35 are not listed. These should be called the 1998 awards.
The Trial 2 awards for 1997-1999 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 2000, page 30 are not listed. These should be called the 1999 awards.
The Trial 3 awards for 1998-2000 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 2001, page 27 are not listed. These should be called the 2000 awards.
The Trial 4 awards for 1999-2001 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 2002, page 34 are not listed. These should be called the 2001 awards.
The Trial 5 awards for 2000-2002 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 2003, page 43 are listed but are called the 2004 winners. These should be called the 2002 awards.
The Trial 6 awards for 2001-2003 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 2004, page 52 are listed but are called the 2005 winners. These should be called the 2003 awards.
The Trial 7 awards for 2002-2004 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 2005 page 41 and 2006 page 67 are not listed at all. These should be listed and called the 2004 awards. The 18 roses which won awards in this year were About Face, Augusta Luise, Baroque, Bridal Lace, Cabana, Cherry Parfait, Entrain, Falstaff, Flirtatious, Grace, Home & Garden, International Gold, Magic Moments, Midnight Blue, Paul (?Bocuse?), Sunny Rose, The Mayflower, WEKhadsac.
The Trial 8 awards for 2003-2005 reported in the Australian Rose Annual 2007, page 36 are listed correctly and called 2005.
From then on everything seems accurate.
For the moment Helpmefind has listed the awards as per the National Rose Trial Ground website, but these award years will need to be corrected eventually.

Patricia,
Just to make sure I understand. The National Rose Trial Gardens website has some inaccuracies and those inaccuracies are also reflected on HMF ?

Okay, whatever works but changes like this can usually be done faster by us using database commands that can update many records at once.

I am looking for recommendations for easily grown, fragrant, disease resistant, garden worthy (not cut flower factory) roses suitable for a large glasshouse controlled for humidity and temperature (15-25 degC) in Singapore, prefereably with some relevance to this region such as traditional Indian varieties or cv bred from SE Asian species such as Rosa gigantea. (A big ask I know)

An intriguing concept! Can you explain a little more? Are the roses to be grown in pots or in the ground?
Are you interested in roses of a particular size?
Shrubs only, or pillar roses and climbers as well?
Do you anticipate being able to control the environment sufficiently to be able to try roses that do well in temperate zones?

What roses will grow well in Singapore is uncharted territory-- I have been repeatedly making the point that it is time we hybridised roses for tropical areas if the rose is to remain the world's most popular flower. In the absence of data I would guess that India's garland roses which are widely adapted could be the best bet. The varieties which could be tried include Mme. Eugene Marlitt ( Maggie, known as Kakinada Red in India ) Gruss en Telplitz and Souvenier de la Malmaison, as well as the original Bourbon, R. Edward. Some of the Tea roses could be tried- Madame Falcot, Mrs B.R.Cant, Etoile de Lyon, Maman Cochet spring to mind. Among my newly released seedlings, Faith Whittlesey (Tea with R. gigantea in it) and Somasila (aka Spice Trail) and Twilight Tryst (H.T.s) are very fragrant and adaptable.
In case you want more information you could perhaps get in touch with me directly.
