There was only one rose bred by Henry Matthews and that was 'Matthews Surprise', bred sometime before 1890. We haven't found it in Australia, so I don't think you have much chance of finding it in the U.S. But we would love to hear of it if you do. It was a tea rose and they are very long lived.

Thank you Patricia. Where do you live? Perhaps they only have it in Queensland?

Perhaps. We will keep an eye out for it this October at the Heritage Roses in Australia Inc. conference which is being held in Queensland.

A pleasure.
Go into Plants> Search/Lookup> click on Contains and ask for Matthew. You will get a choice.
The 1997 'The Matthew" seems your best bet.
