I feel sure this is Patrick Grant’s 1928 rose, with Prior introducing it in the UK in 1930?

I think so too, only that they declared it as a Tea. It would be good to find it listed in a Prior catalogue before merging.

From the Patrick Grant’s ‘Golden Dawn’s references:
1927.. rich tea fragrance.
1929. All the plants of this variety are sold under the condition that they are for Australian and New Zealand use only and must not be directly or indirectly forwarded to either Europe or America.
1932. the National Rose Society of England has awarded it a first-class Certificate after practical test in Haywards Heath Test Garden.
1932. Rigg reports from London that it has been classified by the National Rose Society as a Tea, different from the raiser who classes it as a Hybrid Tea

That's pretty conclusive; i am merging the two listings. It is actually spelled out in Modern Roses V and also in a photo added by David Elliott.

My bush was only planted 4 months ago, but already it is having it's 3rd flush. The globular buds open to huge, thick-petalled flowers with a delicious perfume.

Isn't it a lovely, lovely thing. I have photos of my bush flowering in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Apr and May over the years. (Really handy to have dated photos). As Mr. Grant bred it in Sydney, and you live in Sydney, it should be extra special for you. I am glad you are enjoying this 1929 rose.

I hadn't taken in that it was bred in Sydney, so that does make it extra special. After I'd ordered it I read something quite damning about it, and was wishing I'd gone with Perle d'Or, but I love it. No problems whatsoever, so far. Dated photos would be good, if only I backed them up, and didn't lose them with each computer that dies!

See what you think.

Golden Dawn was a Broadway musical 1927–28 starring Cary Grant among others. In 1930 Warner Brothers released a film version: "Vivienne Segal stars as Dawn, a white girl presumed to be born among the natives in what was once Dutch East Africa. Set in a German prisoner of war camp during World War I, Golden Dawn presents a truce between captors and captives who are facing a common danger: the threat of an uprising among the natives …"

I have a picture of this Rose from a
Rose book of my Grandmothers from 1938, How would I send you a picture of it since you don't have one?

After you have scanned the picture just make sure that it is a jpeg file, preferable less that 100K. and then all you have to do is write an email and attach it . The email address is under contact HMF on the top of the web pages.

You should have the photo scanned and saved in a j-peg format. Most copy places can do this for you these days.
