'Elizabeth Hamlin'. Bred in 1984, this rose is from two unknown parents. It is described as having blush-pink single blooms fading to white, with very large clusters of flowers on the branches. Flowering in November/December, it rambles freely. It has a pointed bud which opens to small, single blooms, 4 to 5 centimetres across, with 15 to 45 blooms per cluster. There is only a slight fragrance . The rose is one of the few Ken registered in 1986, so he must have thought a lot of it - he even went to the trouble of having the registration description notarised by a local Justice of the Peace. Fortunately this rose still thrives, and I first saw it in the garden of Ken's daughter on my trip to the far north.

It was a simple white rose with massed clusters of flowers. The Hamlin descendants have a reunion in February of Te Hemara's (James Hamlin's) arrival in New Zealand. I will in due course hope to propagate this plant ....
