The scent of Melbourne Town is more than 'none'. It came and got me rather than my having to bury my nose in the flower in search of it. Perhaps olfable from a foot or two away.

Olfable. Goodness, that's an awfable word to associate with a rose, but we get what you mean. We've increased the fragrance description. Thanks hmfusr

Well 'audible' came to mind, but wrong cephalic protruberance. If someone knows the right '..able' word for noses, I'll edit it in :) Could have checked the thesseruss, but wasn't in the mood.
'Smellable' is even worse.
Home-made words always make me smile. Better we create them than the corporate 'sector' with their pestilential 'leveraged', 'incentivisation', 'proactive' etc.

A telephone call to Dr. Bruce Chapman in June, 2009 confirmed the seed parent was 'Kardinal 85' and not 'Kardinal' 1967 as the 2008 reference shows.

Patricia,
The rose Bruce used was 'Kardinal'. In Victoria we know it as nothing else. I have received the following advice from the International Cultural Registration Authority - Roses on the matter.
"The registered name is Korlingo and the primary name we use for it is Kardinal. The other fancy names, Kardinal 85 and Kordes' Rose Kardinal, are simply synonyms that we have run across. I can see no justification for substituting one of them for the basic name of Kardinal."

Thanks Laurie. with your help, we are crystal clear now knowing that the seed parent was the 1985 rose, and not the 1934 or the 1967 'Kardinal'.

the use of numbers after a name signifies the yr in which the rose was bred/released.this has come about because of the usage of the same name over the yrs for a number of roses.it is a usefull tool to diferentiate types.For instance, I beleive there is at least 3 and maybe 4 roses using the name kardinal.With all of these still being grown this becomes the simplest way to diferentiate the newer ones without saying they are extinct or some such nonesense.kev

Exactly. Thanks for enlightening site guests that may be confused by our naming conventions. One can ignore whatever is enclosed in parenthesis after a name as part of the official or common name - that is the point of using the parenthesis.
The benefit, as very well explained above, is the recognition of the different plants sharing the same name by the name alone.

This is not meant to be a report of an error, I can't find how to delete an image I uploaded just now for 'Melbourne Town'. The later version is correct. How to remove the earlier please.

Laurie here is what you need to do.
First, click onto the picture directly. This opens a new window which gives an option at the top that reads: EDIT COMMENTS / DELETE PHOTO.... Click over this EDIT COMMENTS / DELETE PHOTO option, and this will take you to a new option to delete the photo as well as any commentary to the photo. Hope this helps.
George.
