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.'
