I found this list in Michael Guilfoyle's catalogue from 1866. Michael Guilfoyle and Sons -1866 EXOTIC NURSERY,Double Bay,New South Head Road,Sydney,New South Wales page 23 HYBRID VARIETIES OF ROSES RAISED BY OURSELVES BOOMERANG-a first class rose,immensely large,rich pink,beautifully shaded. EMILY-a handsome delicate pink,very compact. EXCELSIOR-a truly magnificent variety,large white,slightly tinged with pink and highly fragrant. FLORA'S CHALICE-perhaps the most fragrant rose in existence,a large,cupped, beautiful pink. HENRY KENDALLE-a very pretty deep red,not large but well shaped. LA COQUETIER-white with delicate pink centre,middle sized. MRS FULLER-a beautiful deep rosy pink,large and fine. OTHELLO-supposed to be the darkest rose known,a perfect novelty. R.R.MACKENZIE-a very fine rosy pink,changeable. SIR WILLIAM DENISON-very distinct,and truly magnificent,well shaped,deep rosy crimson,with carnation like stripes. UNCLE TOM-of exquisite shape and beautiful crimson purple colour.
I would imagine these would all be Hybrid Perpetuals?
Also listed in 2 catalogues of that era is 'GUILFOYLE'S X.X.X.' B and S Johnson's catalogue 1861 page 7 Guilfoyle's X.X.X., H.P. rich purple crimson John Rule's 1858 and 1860 catalogues p 12 Guilfoyle's XXX,-Hy.Perp.-rich crimson,shaded with purple
