'Memoriam' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

I agree with Steve. This rose has gorgeous form, smells great, and has been vigorous for me so far. I love the soft, pink color. It doesn't care much for rain, but fortunately that's seldom an issue here.

Saw some of these in the display garden of one of the major rose nurseries near here and they were some of the very best blooms in the place, out of dozens of varieties. They were just magnificently formed (exhibition form), a beautiful colour, excellent size and had a fantastic fragrance.
It's an older variety, so may require a bit of extra care to keep it healthy, but the blooms will be well worth any extra effort, in my experience of them.

My grandmother grew 'Memorium' at Tyabb in Victoria, Australia in the 1970s and 1980s.According to 'Growing Roses - A Complete Guide to Growing & Showing Roses in Australia' (1983) by A. S. Thomas, the plant is pink, bred by Von Abrams (no year or place specified) and is suitable for decoration & exhibition, double, fragrant, v. bushy growth and tall.If I can obtain a photograph, I will send one. (This may take a month or so).Cheers,Heather Johnson,Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria

Hello, Heather, and thank you for this information.
I have to think you are describing the same rose known as 'Memoriam' -- same breeder, same color, same time period. Take a look at these pictures:

Do you think it was sold in Oz with the alternative spelling?
