| I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me identify this rose. It belongs to a friend of mine who 'inherited' it when she bought a farm in Central Western New South Wales (Australia) seven years ago. The garden had been neglected for some years before she bought the farm and the roses were in a very sorry state. My observations of this rose are as follows - It has an enormous stump and I'm guessing that it was planted at the time the house was built, which was very soon after World War 2 - so, it is a rose that would have been widely available in Australia in the early 1950s. The flowering habit is that of a floribunda If there is any further information I can provide, please let me know. I will try and attach a link to an album I have on Picasa which contains about ten photos of the rose. Please excuse me if this doesn't display correctly - it's my first attempt at posting to the web! |

| From the picture you posted here I thought maybe Sisters at Heart but then I went to the link and now I'm not so sure. My SaH can be much deeper in color. |

| Thank you for your response seil, I don't think it can be Sisters at Heart because my friend's rose is completely devoid of any fragrance, whereas Sisters at Heart is apparently 'very fragrant' - also, my friend's rose was widely available in rural Australia in the early 1950s but Sisters at Heart was only introduced in 2006. |

| Well that rules out a lot of them. The only one I saw on HMF that looked similar was one called Narzisse but I have no idea if it was available in Australia. |
