From Pat Toolan in So. Australia, "I noticed in an old catalogue 'Joasine Hanet' for the first time the other day as we too have a rose which I feel is the same as "Portland from Glendora" We call it "Kew Cemetery Portland" - from the descriptions being aired it has to be the same rose as our unknown here."

Tom Liggett of Liggett's Rose Nursery says "The Portland From Glendora" is also known as 'McGregor Damask" ... the deep purple-pink flowers are very double with a button eye...
