Re Georgina Campbell's comment in Wanaka Station Park (as follows) I am very interested in the rose 'Courage' particularly since it might be the McGredy one. I have been working over the past 5 years to collect McGredy bred roses for an extensive collection in my garden just out of Hastings. Sam McGredy IV is very supportive of the project and officially opened the garden in 2009. I would really appreciate the opportunity to obtain budwood from this rose at the end of the year if at all possible.
Dear Georgina, I would contact the Park management and beg any prunings at all this winter to use as cuttings. If they strike that gives you a double go at this rose. Cuttings wrapped in newspaper, wet and drained, and then plastic wrapped seem to like the damp, enclosed, dark time in the post.

Hello, Georgina. Sorry to have raised your hopes, but further delving at Queenstown Lakes District Council has revealed that the rose in question is the 1990 Meilland floribunda 'MEIcairma'.
