This rose definitely isn't Comtesse Riza du Parc, as in commerce in Australia. That option can safely be excluded.

Patricia, it clearly isn't William R. Smith either, so you can eliminate that as well thanks.

For species roses, I *really* wish that in the "parentage" field, in lieu of the default "If you know the parentage of this rose..." the information provided might instead be e.g. the section (or nothotaxon) of the Rosa: in this case, for instance, Section Synstylae, Series Brunonianae
This type of information could be useful to hybridizers.

Available at Bill LeGrice's nursery.

The link shows a beautiful photo. I remember reading in one of the older Australian Rose Annuals that in warmer regions this rose is winter flowering. If I ever find the reference again, I'll post it. This one is on my wish list.

Perhaps it will be in the blank references in the file. There are page and paragraph numbers which should make it easier to look up and if it is not in the 1960s or 1970s, I can supply issues and page numbers in the 1980s.

Thanks, but I have a feeling it was in one of the 1970s copies. I enquired with Ross Roses maybe 6 or 7 years ago if it was something that they could get in, but they replied that they had never heard of it. It looks and sounds really superb, I don't know why it never caught on here.

The database of Roseto Botanico Gianfranco e Carla Fineschi reports it as "H. rug." by Mansuino (almost certainly Quinto)
