Please email a sample photo to the support department so they can verify it's not a problem with your photo (too large?). They will be happy to sort it out. Your sponsorship is missed but that would not affect your ability to upload photos.

Sent a sample photo but it just stays on a blank helpmefind photo download screen, the photo never uploads and the screen stays blank. The photos are from the same digital camera that I have uploaded all the previous photos on to the helpmefind page. Regards

Email the support department and attach one of the photos you're unable to upload to HMF.
If you, or someone else, changed the size/resolution setting of your camera that could cause the photos to be too large to upload to HMF.

The information on the hmf page, and the website it leads to, are out of date. This nursery now sells only at the Barosssa Farmers' Market. Roses are sold only in spring, as small cutting-grown plants.
I have no connection with the nursery and don't know if its plant list is current.

Thanks for the update Margaret. The nursery listing is linked to HMF member Sarah Rajkotwala. Do you know if she's still involved with the nursery.

I don't know the owners, but I think it's likely they haven't changed.

Hi, I'm the owner of the Nursery which is now closed. Please delete all plant lists and the nursery listings for Petals and Buds Nursery. I tried to delete them a few years ago but cannot access these pages to delete them myself because of a new email address. I also sent an email to hmf at the time to delete all the listings for me, but got no response.Thank you. Kind Regards

Thank you. I've marked the nursery closed.

I'm sorry to see it go; it had an excellent range, and Aus lost too many heritage-rose nurseries (and others) in the drought.

Where did your plant come from, and did it have this name then? Or is it the common foundling which many people think is Joasine Hanet? (I see no reason to disagree.)

Hi, This rose was bought as 'Cemetary Pink' (Hilltop nursery I think, now closed), it is indeed a foundling, but common it is not. I'm not sure if all the foundlings are the same rose as this, it is too much of an important rose to go unnoticed and locked away in obscure collections. It is as far as I can tell as close to the rose 'Joasine Hanet' as I can tell, I thought it was this rose for years but held back from labelling it as so. It seems like a damask perpetual. It is highly fragrant, with petals that can all fall of on older blooms when touched. Very prickly, with an upright stiff habit. The shrub itself is not attractive but in full bloom it is a sight to behold. It has flowers almost continusously in quick succesion right throughout the warmer months. It is very hard to propagate, which is another factor which leads me to believe that it was not an old variety of rootstock that one rosarian has suggested.

Do you recall if Ian Huxley, Hilltop, mentioned which cemetery? I have his 2002 catalogue but can see no listing.

By "common" I meant it has been found in several locations in at least two states, thereby acquiring a number of study names! "Kew Cemetery Portland" and "Arie Bos's" rose in Victoria, "Iris Hylton's rose" in SA. Pat T says it used to be in the Blackwood hospital grounds. It is still on a roadside at Summertown and in a garden/road verge near Bridgewater. Definitely a survivor, and as you say, a wonderful rose. It will sucker on its own roots, and seems more vigorous growing that way than budded, in my garden.
Congratulations on reaching the ID independently.

Yes fascinating subject of bringing 'lost' roses back into cultivation. A very worthy subject like preserving our heritage vegetable seed and fruit varieties. I think most old roses are tougher and more vigourous growing on their own roots. Great photo, and find. I bet you keep your eyes peeled whenever out in country locations. Regards

Yes, but some roses are easier than others - have a look at my Maman Cochet pictures - and you don't see anything at 110kph. I've been enjoying your photos.

Yes I've already seen and admired your lovely Maman rose photograph, that rose is huge. Quite outstanding, you're right some bushes will look good no matter how you photograph them.

Hi, I can't exactly recall where I bought it, probably in the mid nineties, and it survived a move. I have bought many roses from many different sources. I suspect it was the Kew Cemetary Portland. Regards
