Beautiful Picture and Beautiful Form.
I have the same objective as you.
I wish you luck. I am just starting out with my cuttings.
I have 90 stems in the greenhouse. Those are Hybrids.
Hopefully more will root than not ... cross your fingers for me.
I am looking for old roses to add to my garden.

I hope both of you in your respective countries are members of the Heritage Rose Societies. When I first joined the Australian group, our cutting days offered cuttings - bundles of three for .50 cents and the world was my oyster.

I do belong to the ARS, but there aren't any active chapters anywhere near me. That is why I trade with people around the country and world.

There weren’t any active chapters near me neither, but their journals were so inspiring. As I read of a member having this or that heritage rose, contact would always bring a welcome package of cuttings through the mail. Cuttings simply love that period of warm, dark enclosedness. If the mail is late, more than likely the cuttings will arrive well calloused for a good start.

I hate being a repetitive wet blanket about this, but don't even think of trading cuttings around the world. Quarantine penalties are severe, and for good reason.

I have Family and friends who live all over the world.
I also travel with work. I'm an Executive Assistant.
So, I meet rose enthusiast in Person and build relationships.
Unfortunately, they are in the same field as I.
I have the luxury of working from home. Most do not, so they rarely have cuttings. :-(

I am waiting for the next journal and I'll try to see if anyone has any cuttings.
You would be Shocked at how rare it is around here.
I love in the Chicago Suburbs.

Thanks Patricia. Joining HRNZI helped me a lot to learn about roses, share cuttings and plants and observing roses in fellow members' gardens. Now I am the editor of the Heritage Roses New Zealand Journal.

Well done Salila. In my opinion, the NZHR journal is one of the finest in the world. You have prompted me to look on my bookshelves and I find the last journal I have was November 2019. I will follow that up today.

I am a member of Heritage Roses New Zealand and was the editor for four years from 2019 and 2023. Now I am part of the Rose Register Team and Rose Distribution Team. Involvement with HRNZ helped to learn more about roses and share roses among the members. Cuttings Days helped a lot to spread the rare plants and roses around.

Have the Rose Register Team considered adding foundling roses to HelpMeFind? There is a whole world of rosarians who may be able to help rule out, or point the way to a rose’s real name.

I wonder how could New Zealand Crown Princess Mary be different from Australian version? I have a shrub with lemony creamy, very full flowers. They are divinely fragrant. I feel those two are two different roses. Can any one explain this please?

Someone’s sloppy record keeping.
The New Zealand Rose Review 2019 shows an advertisement from GardenBarn in Masterton and the yellow picture is labelled there ‘Crown Princess Mary’. I wouldn’t mind betting that the yellow rose is, in fact, George Thomson’s 2001 rose ‘Philadelphia’.

This rose makes suckers.

Sad to hear that, such a beautiful rose. I STAY AWAY from suckering roses. I spent 2 hours this summer killing Le Rire Nias (Centifolia) for sending a dozen suckers into my lawn and my peonies. Merry Christmas to you, Jay-jay, my favorite person in HMF. I hope you have a fun Christmas & and a great spring flush next year.

I'm glad, it suckers, for then one might share, or have a healthy big bush!
I would want that more roses would sucker and cover the dirt.

That is very true, suckers help to share roses.

In a climate where roses stop growing over winter, that may be OK. It isn't in my Mediterranean climate (see for example photo www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.74538 ).
The Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens removed most of their own-root Gallicas, Spinosissimas and seed-grown species roses, because the more aggressive ones grew over the top of the others, and you couldn't tell which label belonged to which plant.

I can imagine a Botanical or display garden might do that, but in ones own backyard one might choose to let them intertwine, but prevent maybe a "complete survival-of-the-fittest-slugfest".

What a beautiful rose with an unusual crown of stamens!
