Carlsruhe Maria Brühn”, collected from an 1891 grave in mid-north SA, is likely to be Mlle de Sombreuil (1851), and is now sold as such in Australia, but lacks continuity of the name. The same rose has also been found overseas. Flowers are double, solitary or in clusters; sometimes light pink, aging white; more often white, with red flashes on the guard petals. The scent is complex, with a suggestion of violets. It flowers in flushes, and can ball in wet weather. The bush is upright-growing and spreading, with some Bourbon features.  Leaves have a leaden cast. Prickles are red on new growth, sometimes paired.

Pat Toolan delivered this talk at the Eleventh National Heritrage Rose Conference at Mount Gambier in November 2012.
Cemeteries have proved to be great repositories of old roses and one of the most spectacular is Carlsruhe Cemetery in the mid-north of South Australia. This cemetery had to be included in the 2012 pre-conference tour. Two bushes of a white tea rose, with a bourbon feel are "Carlesruhe Cemetery Maria Bruhn". Maria died in 1891 and Johann in 1893. Do these roses date from those dates? This rose is a possible candidate for the rose 'Mlle. de Sombreuil', as seen in the Anna Peters' painting in the Tea Roses book. "Maria Bruhn" has not been found elsewhere in Australia but is also a "found" rose in California.

Pat Toolan. Another double grave 1891, 1893) is graced with two bushes of a clean white very double tea. The outer petals stained scarlet and the odd bloom showing a dash of scarlet to the odd inner petal. Very curious and distinctive! The perfume of course was superb.
