Bewitched is one of the largest flowering roses. So, wrong rose.

Agree that this is not Lammerts 1967 Bewitched.
I wonder if it is Poulsen's 1989 Bewitched as member 'Sun and Rose' photos show that this rose is in India, and they definitely look similar.

A reliable robust, healthy rose which is rarely seen nowadays. While it doesn't have flamboyant shade of some of the newer releases it does provide a colour fast bloom which resists the bleaching effects of age and the sun.

Botanica’s Roses. Page 636
Note additional synonym: ‘Lotsa Fragrance’
‘.. This variety produces shapely blooms of over two dozen peachy apricot petals. They develop from well - formed buds and retain their colour well. There is a quick repeat and a very strong fragrance. The abundant blooms are mainly produced singly on long stems, which make them good for cutting. The disease resistant growth is vigorous with glossy dark green foliage. Yesteryear is a good rose for bedding and also does well in borders…’
The Australian Rose Annual 1996, P72
Ted Phillips: Some of the Newer Roses Seen at Treloar’s Nursery, Portland.
‘YESTERYEAR: Does not really stand out, but appears to be a good grower, with ample blooms. Nice colour and perfume.’

Golden Song

“I have found on these small arches the best roses to grow are the miniature varieties ( e.g. Golden Song, Golden Gardens, Golden Century, Jeanne Lajoie and the best of all Ralphs Creeper)…………”

It's gorgeous! And it's climbing? Why is this beauty not in commerce? I never heard of Ernest Williams. Time to do some research.

What do people think about "Mini Champagner" being the 1990 Dutch rose SELscandium?

It is promising. We would probably be a step closer if we had a photo of the bush & bloom, and if we could ever establish when and who introduced SELscandium into Australia.

Did you guys down under compare it to 'Thumbelina'? I have only seen 'Champagner' in person once, so I don't see these mini florist floris you guys have very much.

A very good suggestion, Michael. Schuurman's Thumbelina is a possibility although there is only one photo and the petal arrangements look different to the Mini Champagner photos.
I was surprised when checking that after forty years the Kordes Champagner is still available from at least three rose growers in Oz. The rose is not an over robust plant.
Thanks.
