"Blackbutt Tea" rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

The hips (green or just starting to colour) I have cut open contained no seeds.

Blackbutt is a native Australian tree, also used as a place name. The name comes from the lower sections of the trunk having dark colouration.

I'll refrain from posting a photo of a street sign named for another Eucalyptus - Woollybutt Road.
Butt is one of the words which show a difference in dialect between Australia and America.

Based on formal assessment Billy and Hillary consider that "Blackbutt Tea" is the same as "Sylvia Hannah's Dark Pink Tea", and John N agrees. There are some similarities to Mrs B R Cant, so it may be related, but it is different.

The Blackbutt Tea rose was collected by Darling Downs Heritage Region members, Mal and Shirley Becker. From the town of Blackbutt in Queensland, Australia about one hour's drive north of Toowoomba, largest regional inland city after the National Capital, Canberra. Cutting grown plants have been passed around our members. A plant was given to David Ruston when he visited the region in either 2005 or more likely about 2011 for the National Collection at Renmark. Compared with Mrs B R Cant it is not the same plant. The Beckers grow both.

Lovely rose, I have one cutting-grown from the plant at Ruston's. The Tealadies say it matches "Sylvia Hannah's Dark Pink Tea", collected NSW, which doesn't bring us any closer to its original name.

Excellent information Bonita.
Let's look at the provenance. As far as I can gather
"Sylvia Hannah's Dark Pink Tea" (New South Wales) came from:
Molly Skenner-1; Dallwood family cuttings taken in 1927-2; Sylvia Hannah-3; Esmond Jones-4; Pat Toolan-5; David Ruston-5.
"Blackbutt Tea" (Queensland) came from:
The town of Blackbutt-1; Becker-2; Ruston-3.
So does David have two separate plants? From the 2015 reference I presume that he does.
There are vague statements that "some features are similar" and "it is not the same".
What is needed are specific characteristics of these foundlings compared with 'Mrs. B. R. Cant' and perhaps comparison photographs of the leaf, side-on bud, prickles, wood, etc. etc. etc.

"Sylvia Hannah's" is at C 35 in the Tea bed of the HRIAI Collection at Ruston's, and "Blackbutt Tea", planted several years later, is at B 65. I have only the "Blackbutt Tea" in my own garden. Will seek further info.
