Anne Cullinane: ....the Duvachelle's Bay Cemetery basks in the sun at the top of the hill overlooking the Bay, at the corner where O'Kains Bay road leaves the main Akaroa-Christchurch highway. Growing in the path which borders the oldest row of graves, is a low growing French Gallica rose Antonia d'Ormois.....

Deane Ross:  Autumn Delight is one of the more compact growing Hybrid Musks, and although the blooms are quite simple, they continue to make one of the best display of the class.

Basil's Surprise This rose was the result of natural fertilization. Basil Hall planted several rose hips from which a number of roses sprouted. These looked like typical Chinas: fairly small bushes up to 2-3ft.(60-90cm) high and wide with the twiggy, untidy growth habit of this class. Slender dark burgundy new foliage becomes dark green when mature. It blooms singly and in small clusters of two and three. Sets little orange hips.

Bea's Pink Cluster". Around 1940 this rose grew luxuriantly over a pergola at Mrs. Beatrice Trimingham's house in Paget. Sadly this plant no longer lives, but slips taken and propagated have found homes in other gardens. Fat buds open crimson, then unfold to bright pink pompom-like blooms about 1 1/2 in.(4cm) across. Some petals roll up making the flowers look like little starbursts. Older blooms turn purplish-pink.

Editor. ....In addition to the Damask roses 'Rose d'Hiver', 'Gloire de Guilan' and 'Ispahan' brought back from Iran, Nancy discovered a further Damask rose in a convent in Elboeuf, Normandy in 1940. Named Belle Amour, this is an unusually coloured salmony-pink Damask rose with a scent of myrrh.

Rex Thomson:  The dry hot summer in Dunedin has reulted in a vintage display from Belle Poitevine, and although this Rugosa does not always set hips, it has excelled itself this year.  At the present time, this beauty has a few final magenta pink flowers, plenty of large dark red fruit, and the foliage is beginning to turn to that wonderful autumn toning - what more could one ask for from a rose?

"Bermuda's Catherine Mermet": A medium-sized bush, up to a height of 5ft. (1.5m) with a spreading form. The buds open to creamy-coloured double blooms with the slightest hint of faint lilac-pink on the outer petals. This is an excellent rose for cutting. A number of U.S. rosarians call this "Bermuda's Catherine Mermet" because the colour seems to be at variance with the rose they grow, bred by Guillot fils in 1869, which is lilac-pink. Our "Bermuda's Catherine Mermet" may be a sport called 'The Bride'.
