Eileen Lowther. Re 'Princesse de Sagan'. Tea.
In about 1981 or 1982 I went on an organised walk through the Melbourne General Cemetery with a group from HRA led by Robert Peace who knew the area well and where the interesting roses were to be found. One of these was for some years known as "Robert's Red Tea". It was a clear red medium size, and eventually it was identified by Robert as 'Princesse de Sagan', but he said that there seemed to be two reds slightly different in colouring with the same name. Recently Jan Laidlaw picked me some 'Princesse de Sagan' from her garden. it is a small rose - red with a bluish tinge. Can anyone give the date of this rose (or roses) and introduced by whom?

Iris King: Three roses nominated for propagation and reintroduction.
"[Robert's] Red Tea" - found at Rookwood and also Melbourne (several locations). A first class rose of sumptuous red, even colour. Just a little difficutl to propagate. One bush of this was destroyed at Rookwood but there are at least 2 more.

Editor: [Robert Peace] (I feel the rose is similar to 'Princesse de Sagan' but I have only seen that rose once. It may be the only lead in finding the identity of this apparently widely planted red Tea Rose.)

Stephanie Murphy.  A Walk Through Rookwood Cemetery.
I really enjoyed the walk around Rookwood.....There is also a very beautiful dark red Tea - it will be interesting to compare it with Francois Dubreuil and Souv de Therese Levet when they flower.
