Selection from R. chinensis cv. 'Old Blush'
In 1979 seedlings were raised from a fruit of 'Old Blush' and resulted in the selection which was informally named 'Beauty of Glenhurst' by Trevor Nottle (1983). The vigorous and floriferous selection has a sparse bluish foliage and shrubby erect habit about 2.5 metres tall. Flowers are borne in trusses and are single, open deep magenta pink and fade paler. The selection is fertile and also strikes readily from cuttings, its erect habit and constitution making it suitable for hedging.
It was named for the garden in which it was raised at Gumeracha in South Australia. The cultivar is not dissimilar from R. cv. 'Sanguinea'."

It's likely the Australian factor but its interesting that they specify it's fertile and yet has no listed offspring.

I have planted seeds of my Beauty of Glenhurst but so far nothing to show yet.

FWIW I have a few seedlings out of 'Beauty of Glenhurst' (from using its pollen in crosses & from OP seed). I haven't used it much & nothing that has resulted has been very interesting but it's definitely fertile both ways.

I forgot about one plant that I named for my mother with a study name - "Eunice Perkins". It was a OP cross between 'Beauty of Glenhurst' x 'Albertine' -it was a small double light pink with the perfume of Albertine.

'Beauty of Glenhurst' x 'Albertine' seems like a great match. My best seedling involving 'B of G' is 'Route 66' x 'Beauty of Glenhurst', a nice China-type rose with a purple bloom (see photo). I have also uploaded a photo of the OP 'Beauty of Glenhurst' seedling I have kept.
