John Nieuwesteeg: The story of R. 'Cherub' would take too many pages! Finding the real AC 'Cherub' remains a challenge and is elusive to me to this date. That's a rose I'd love to find!

John Nieuwesteeg: In the Australian Rose Annual of 1963, David Ruston mentioned, among others, 'Courier'. I rang David and while he no longer had it growing, he knew it was growing in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Next thing I knew, a bud stick turned up in my mail box.

John Nieuwesteeg: 'Dividend' I received from Miss Alice Jeffrey of Kew. It is a tea rose, golden yellow, with a strong scent. So far the growth is poor.

John Nieuwesteeg: 'Golden Vision' was discovered in the west by Rose Marsh, a Heritage Roses in Australia member and Co-ordinator. We first made 'Golden Vision' available in 1992 - a very worthwhile addition to our AC collection.

John Nieuwesteeg: 'Mab Grimwade' is growing in the garden of the Kelly family at Barwidgee, a property near Carramut in the western district of Victoria. In November 1990 when I went there, Mrs. Kelly was, I think, 92 or 93. Her late husband was a brother of Mab Grimwade. On this particular day Mrs. Kelly came in to the garden with her nurse. She was nearly blind, but knew exactly where the rose was supposed to be. The plant was rather small and didn't look old enough to me. The gardener directed us to another Kelly property just out of Carramut called "Eulo". In this garden we found a quite large bush of 'Mab Grimwade'.

John Nieuwesteeg: The gardener directed us to another Kelly property just out of Carramut called "Eulo"...... Growing on the wall of the shed was an interesting climber with very bright pink single flowers fitting the description of AC's 'Mary Warren', a cross between 'Scorcher' and 'Mrs. Frank Guthrie'.

John Nieuwesteeg: From Alston's came R. 'Mrs. Harold Alston', a climber with flowers, much like 'Sunny South' but with more petals and a bit larger.
