I was beginning to think this rose was named as a bit of a joke- profuse it was not! I posted the original pics of its first blooms, in 2013, then nothing- it sulked for the next 3 years. I moved it out of the pot and into the ground; still nothing. However, it remained the healthiest evergreen bush in the garden- never any disease, leaf drop, mildew or blackspot, so I kept it. It just didn't grow much, or flower at all,until this spring, when it seems to have just exploded. Its planted right at the end of the driveway, so people stop to admire it! No fragrance at all but it still as healthy looking as ever. Now I am curious to see what the repeat will be like.

I inherited this rose when I moved to the Southern Highlands of NSW, and it provides a fantastic display of blooms throughout the season. It should be more highly rated.

Probably far too soon to make any sort of statement at all about this rose, but as it seems to be being sold in every Bunnings store this year, and I have one, here it goes. Bought as a potted bareroot from local Bunnings store in June/July this year (Aus winter 2017), so its not old enough to say anything much about yet. I dont use fungicides or sprays at all, so its survival of the fittest here. Has been a bit of blackspot on old post spring leaves, so its looking a bit naked legged right now, but new growth is continuing, and it has remained completely mildew free. Flowers are pleasantly scented, but not overwhelmingly fragrant ; no balling, and they dont seem to be affected by the weird hot/cold weather sudden spurts of rain that make up a Melbourne spring. Seems to be a slow but steady, twiggy/shrubby sort of grower. Bloom colour is more mid pink with blue undertones than dark pink.

Does the label have a breeder code on it? If it was bred by Rankins, it would start with RAN.

Rankin’s Roses are part of a group of nurseries who call themselves collectively, Rose Introducers of Australia. They almost never disclose the codes, although Treloars are very good with the codes. Rankins and Landsdale are difficult with codes. Knight's Roses Swane's Nurseries David Austin Roses Corporate Roses Roses & Friends Treloar Roses Rankin's Roses Landsdale Rose Gardens

Hi Patricia I have come up with this info from PALATINE ROSES in Canada Rose Name Mother and Child I can only presume that this is a variety name because Trademarks CANNOT be variety names ie name of the rose (as above) Other names JAL25-3-12, JALaroma Breeder Jalbert 2015 Rose names in Australia are mainly badly used ie genericised trademarks...its all quite farcical Your list of nurseries is lets say Interesting

Thank you joekoel. I have merged ‘Mother and Child’ with ‘Mothers and Children’ JALaroma. Appreciate your detective work.

I seem to have lost the original tag (rather annoying, I usually keep them). But it didnt have a breeder code; thats always the first thing I check before buying a new release rose, so I can look it up here!. As the advertising really emphasised the disease resistance, thought I would give it a try, even if I couldnt get any other info. Should be going to Bunnings in the next few days so I'll try to get a pic of a tag for the record.

According to the tag, its called "My Yellow" and won the gold medal at Towoomba rose trials. Saw this rose yesterday at Gardenworld - gorgeous colouring, more golden yellow with hints of red as it ages than straight apricot. My mother was so impressed she ended up buying one.

Cant really say much as I've only had it about 3/4 months,( bought as on sale late season grafted bareroot ) but so far its looking good. No signs of the mildew or blackspot that have already found some of the other bareroots and a lot of the established roses in the garden so far. Lots of buds, and even a couple of blooms.
