Fortune's yellow (Beauty of Glazenwood). Semi-double, 5 in., loose form, in threes, a mixture of rose, apricot and white flecks, giving a remarkable effect. Well scented. Pedicel smooth, also hip, which is round. Calyx equal, not winged. Leaves glossy, pale. Wood brownish red, many stout hooked thorns. This rose, the sensation of its day, was found by the Robert Fortune in a garden at Ningpo, China, in 1842 or 1843. Distinctly a variety for a warm corner, sheltered from rain, which greatly spoils its blossoms. I suggest it may have some Musk blood in it, and thus a Chinese 'Noisette'.

....The following note on a Rose bush seen at the Tuggeronong homestead is supplied by Colonel A.G. Butler:-
“At half-past six of a glorious spring morning, with the air piquant with an exhilarating freshness such as only uplands like these of the Federal Territory can give, and the sun perhaps twenty degrees above the horizon of the Queanbeyan hills, I was making my way on foot from the little Tuggeronong siding to the old homestead, where Mr (now Dr.) Bean, the Australian war historian, was at the time engaged in his monumental work. The circumstances and surroundings were such as to produce a profound sense of the glamour and beauty of the Australian scenery, and I was in a receptive mood. As I neared the old homestead, I crossed a little creek, rippling over the clearest gravel, and breasting a rise I saw, about 80 yards to my left, what appeared to be a massive pillar of yellow. Curiosity and desire to prolong the intense delight of the moment, led my feet astray to look at it. As I approached, my ears were assailed by ‘the humming of innumerable bees,’ and my eyes at the same time delighted beyond measure with a vision of Roses, the like of which I have not seen elsewhere. My ‘pillar of fire’ was a bush, some six or eight feet in height, by six across, of ‘Fortune’s Yellow,’ the flowers so thickly placed and so large as to make all else invisible beside the glory of their red-splashed gold. The bush, I ascertained, had been there for many years. It still flowers, though not, perhaps, as I saw it then.”....
