These three roses come from the same cemetery, and are all well worth growing. The first and third were collected around 1993, before the need to document the grave name was recognised, and are no longer there. A few years ago they were allocated study names based on families who had three or four children buried in the cemetery in the 19th century. John Nieuwesteeg and Steve Beck took budwood from the plants in the HRIA Collection at Renmark, before watering of those beds was discontinued.  “Miels Children" (pronounced miles), Hybrid Perpetual.    This rose repeats well, espaliered on a fence in an area of my garden which gets little attention. The buds can be bright pink but soon soften to mid-pink with a slight lilac tone, and the spent blooms have a mauve tinge before the petals fall. Flowers occur singly or in clusters, and have a light, sweet scent. Bloom form varies: sometimes they have a button eye, sometimes the stamens are exposed.  Its height is about 1.2m
