There is a little controversy over the parentage of 'Pink Angel'. Mrs. Parkes told me in 2009 that 'Pink Angel' and 'Jenny Brown' were sister roses from the same pod. And yet she has told others that the parents of 'Pink Angel' were not the same as 'Jenny Brown'. I am inclined to believe the latter as the registration date of 'Jenny Brown' was 1975 and 'Pink Angel' was 1977. A look at her "stud book" (if she kept one) might help here.
I would love to see a normal bloom of 'Pink Angel', alongside 'Jenny Brown'.
Where did you get 'Pink Angel' from Simomatra? I thought it was lost actually, but Myrtle Robertson told me on August 19, 2000 that Shirley Leyton (Leighton?) had ‘Pink Angel’.

A telephone call to Mrs. Marquerite Parkes today revealed that 'Pink Angel' "is still in the Hunter Valley (NSW)". Mistydowns got the rose from Mrs. Parkes years ago and may still have it, although it is not listed in their 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2002 catalogues. Mrs. Parkes revealed that 'Pink Angel' and 'Jenny Brown' were sister roses from the same pod. I have seen 'Jenny Brown' and it was an exquisite rose.
