Rose Listing Omission

NORFOLK

Shown Adelaide, 11/10/23 - small bloom size, single, cluster.

REF: The Australian Rose Annual 2001, page 53
" Small Shrubs - Up to 1.5m X 1.5m....................
Norfolk (Shrub) Crimson - low hedge."

Distinct from the yellow Norfolk rose (POUlfolk, Olesen 1990)

I see the "deep pink" single photo in Universal's Roses, but can't help thinking there is an error somewhere Johno.

My thinking was the initial single pink/crimson was withdrawn by Poulsen and replaced by the bright yellow double., POUlfolk. There are now two references for the single Norfolk but accept there may have been a mistake somewhere. Maybe it could be listed as a 'found' rose with the two references in the hope of receiving additional information.
I found it interesting that there was no listing for Oxford, considering the series was named with the UK market in mind.

Maybe Jedmar can throw some light on the situation.
