"Hatchell-Brown Yellow" rose Description
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.

Notes:
This rose was found by Rob Peace at the Hatchell-Brown property in Victoria, Australia.
It had been originally planted by Laurel Hatchell-Brown's mother and had been purchased incorrectly labelled as 'Mermaid'.
It does not appear to be the same as "Vestey's Yellow", syn "Mulvay Rose" ("Hatchell-Brown Yellow" 10-20 petals, seems to have less petals than "Vestey's Yellow" 15-30 petals).
It is a sprawly, leggy rose, not a tea rose. Sparse foliage cover, canes prone to sunburn. Glandular pedicels.

This foundling may be 'Golden Spray', 1917. A "stewed apple" fragrance has been found, and nutmeg and clove has been noted.

Possibilities not yet investigated:
Welcome Stranger 1967 Flori.

Identifications discounted:
Autumn Delight - the buds of the foundling are longer than 'Autumn Delight'.
Captain Thomas - which has red stamens and the leaf seems wrong.
Dairy Maid, 1957 - That has no petaloids.
Daybreak, 1918.- Buds are too squat
Diane - Botanica’s pix does not look the same as HMF
Duchess of Wellington - too many petals
Eclipse – No. despite the bud seeming right, the flower has more petals (see also McFarland p69 pix)
Francesca 1922. HM - Flower is smaller and deeper in colour.
Golden Wings - No petaloids
Irish Harmony - That was said to be splashed with claret
Luna – that is borne mostly solitary
Palacky – different form
Ulster Gem - The outline of the bloom seems more circular than our foundling
