Much like Peter Brock himself, the rose is described as ‘luminous’ and features bright
red blooms and a light perfume.

Brock Foundation to support the work of Variety, the children’s charity.
A branded racing car is also made available by Knight’s Roses for special events being
held by nursery members, enquiries can be directed to Knight’s Roses.
Looking ahead to 2013, the release of the Black Caviar Rose (pictured) is expected to be a
highlight.

remarkable mare who captured international attention with her record-breaking winning
streak.

GUILLOT COLLECTION
Roses Guillot, Empreintes
De Grande Tradition Et De
Contstante Innovation
GUILLOT’S LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE
The Guillot family is proud to have fathered six generations of rose growers. The
Guillot Roses story began in 1834, when Jean-Baptiste Guillot established his firm
‘La Terre des Roses’ (the Terrace of Roses) in Lyon, France, thus establishing the
great Lyonnaise rose-growing tradition.
Its first creation was a Bourbon Hybrid christened ‘Lamartine’, which was produced
in 1842. In the following years,
the firm accumulated an impressive 81 new varieties. Among these were many of the most beautiful old roses still marketed today, such as Mme
Bravy, Pavillon de Pregny, Triomphe de la Guillotière and Comtesse de Barbentane.
Over the next century, the Guillot family revolutionised rose-growing, creating in 1849 the process which would ensure
its recognition by rose-growers throughout the world, Shield-Graft Budding On Dog Rose Seedlings.
Guillot’s son, Jean-Baptiste André Guillot went on to create 69 varieties, including in 1867 a rose which would change
the world of roses forever; the first Hybrid Tea, ‘La France’ (climber), and in 1875, the first polyantha, ‘Ma Pâquerette’.
The firm was handed down from generation to generation, until in 1972, Jean-Pierre Guillot took in hand the destiny of
the ‘Roseraies Guillot’. It is he who manages the firm at the present time.
After moving the nurseries from Saint-Priest to Chamagnieu, Jean-Pierre tackled the task of the firm’s modernisation to
meet market requirements.
Jean-Baptiste Guillot Fils
1827: 1883
These days, the firm produces and markets 250,000 rose plants a year. For several years now, two major aspects
have guided the firm’s policy; the enhancement of old roses and the creation of new varieties.
ENHANCEMENT OF THE OLD ROSES
With an incomparable legacy of more than 500 varieties representing all the rose families, the Guillot family is without
a shadow of doubt in the best position to talk about old roses.
After years of research in the collections of rose gardens such as de l’Hay les Roses, Lyon or Bagatelle, Jean-Pierre has
grouped together all the ‘House’ varieties still in existence, and has completed this collection by choosing the best
varieties obtained since the seventeenth century, and in 1990 offered amateurs a list of 160 varieties. The following
year saw the publication of the first illustrated catalogue entirely devoted to Old Roses.
Their current catalogue offers more than 500 varieties, including many which are not offered by any other rose
grower.
Research continues, and the next few years will no doubt see new treasures unearthed from oblivion, to enrich the
Guillot Roses / Rosa Generosa Roses are
bred primarily for fragrance, masses of
clustered blooms, health and vigor.
The characteristics of many varieties have
quartered centres. (As shown above)
collections of the more and more numerous enlightened amateurs.
CREATION OF NEW VARIETIES
In this field as well, Jean-Pierre Guillot has continued the work of creation undertaken by the Guillot family since 1834.
Jean-Pierre Guillot has created new roses which combine the charm and diversity of the Old Roses with the qualities of modern roses. They group
these ‘New Old Roses’ under the name of ‘Rosa Générosa’. Sonia Rykiel® is a perfect example of this new type of rose.
The Roseraies Guillot are renowned for the delicate process of successful cross breeding and first year selections from the Marseillaise region, which
benefit from optimal climatic conditions - long periods of warm weather favourable to the perfect ripening of the fruits.
The very carefully elaborated cross-breeding programmes have the following objectives:
• To escape from the constraints of the present standards by looking for variance in shape, habits and foliage, which are the stamp of Old Roses.
• To reinforce and diversify the ‘Scented’ character, as the rose has the unusual particularity of developing numerous scents. Violets, apple,
banana, and lilies of the valley, roses create a whole world of aromas to be explored and tamed.

Rosa Generosa™ Pillar Rose (MAScybe) STRONG FRAGRANCE
Rosa Generosa™ Floribunda/Border (MASgrama) FRAGRANT
Cybelle produces cupped, fully double deep pink blooms with a mauve
touch in the cool. Ideal on posts, small trellis or simply as a tall shrub.
Does not need support if maintained and kept cut back to a small bush.
This little rose, dedicated to a Painter, develops like a song in praise of
shapes and colours. Plump chubby flowers painted in crimson pink grow
at the base of its bushy branches, covered with various shades of dark
green foliage. With their pointed petals they could nearly be mistaken
for dahlias lost on unusual stems. Perhaps a touch of surrealism but the
illusion disappears as soon as one approaches this rose, as the scent of
its flowers remind us of its noble origins.
Only Suitable as a 1 or 2 year old bush.

Hybrid Tea (MASmajo)
This rose is mischievous, whimsical, and cheerful ... with flowers
surprisingly graceful. A shrub with bright green foliage, petite rose
buttons (buds) occur in abundance, with many to a branch. And when
open, each unveils a rose with more than 40 petals, fluorescent
illuminating bright pink with a striking yellow reverse. With a light
fragrance, the flowers are quick to reproduce and are excellent for
indoor displays or a Show garden. If you are passionate about quality,
you will love this sweet little rose named Emily!

Rosa Generosa™ Floribunda Rose (MASgenti)
Rosa Generosa™ Bush rose Masjorma (Guillot: Massad) VERY FRAGRANT)
STRONG FRAGRANCE
Here is a flower whose charm is partly due to its hesitation: between
flowering singly or in a group, and between a yellow tinge at the base of
its petals and a whitish tinge spreading progressively to their tips.
But it is also constant: above all, its imposing size and the sixty or so
pointed petals that make up this rose with a fruity fragrance.
Such a rare pearl on the dark leaves of a upright bush.
Suitable only as a 1 or 2 year old bush.
Height 1.5m
Classic, very fragrant fully double golden yellow blooms on a low
growing Floribunda. Quick repeat flowering and highly disease resistant.

Rosa Generosa™ Shrub Rose MILD FRAGRANCE
Generosa™ Bush Rose (MASpanjeu) LIGHTLY SCENTED
Here is a rose that reveals its charms petal by petal. On straight stems,
are masses of flowers that have a similar feel to the wild roses of a
bygone era. Large, illuminating Cherry Red petals gradually give way to
a heart of lemon yellow stamens. Then comes the surprise of the
fragrance with which she adorns herself, a subtle aroma of raspberries
that nothing could hint at. Truly a beautiful specimen for every rose
enthusiast and just stunning in a massed planting.
Strong upright heads of flowers that when picked will hold well indoors.
The strong apricot round buds open to a bloom that fades to pink. The
bush has bloom all season.

Rosa Generosa™ Bush rose (MASdogui) INTENSE FRAGRANCE
Rosa Generosa™ Shrub Rose VERY FRAGRANT
This plant produces roses in two shades like early summer mornings,
when night gives way to the day, and before set-a-glow by the sun when
the sky becomes tinged with crimson pink.
On dense and quivering bush buds appear opening out into a cup
shape, wide and fragrant, where the pink melts little by little into a
yellow hue, like a sunrise.
Large heads of exquisitely perfumed blooms which are ideal for picking.
The bush has an open habit and new canes are constantly produced.
The flowers are best picked early in the morning and hold their perfume
for many days. Spectacular when planted in a cluster of three or more
bushes — but can be planted individually.
Named in honour of the Famous French fashion designer, Sonia Rykiel.

At Chateau de Versigny, every October, there is a gathering of all those
who love flowers and gardens from all over France. Such devotion to
floral beauties should merit a tribute, and that is how this semi-double
crimson tinged rose came about. Salmon-pink, moderate, anise,
apricot, citrus, almond and vanilla fragrance. Very full, cluster-flowered,
ruffled bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season. From the
inside outward apricot blooms with hint of peach in the smell.
Perfectly overlapping petals blend into magnificent shaped blooms. The
rose pink trusses make a wonderful display on the bush and also when

ROSEN-TANTAU COLLECTION
100 YEARS OF ROSE BREEDING. FOR OVER A 100 YEARS GARDEN ROSE BREEDING HAS BEEN THE CORE
BUSINESS OF ROSEN TANTAU. ROSEN TANTAU HAS SPECIALISED IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROSES FOR
OVER A CENTURY. 20 YEARS AGO, HOWEVER, THE COMPANY STARTED INTENSIVELY DIVERSIFYING ITS
BREEDING LINES TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROSE CLASSES.
FOUNDATIONS...
Rosen Tantau was established in the German town of Uetersen in 1906, by nursery gardener Mathias Tantau. With his two brothers, Tantau built up
the business through the propagation of garden rose bushes, branching into rose breeding during the difficult years of the First World War. This
proved to be a successful move, and in the following years Tantau introduced many famous varieties, including one of the first cut rose varieties to
become successful worldwide; the productive and long- lasting red Garnette.
In the 1950s, Rosen Tantau passed into the hands of Tantau’s son Mathias Tantau Junior, who significantly changed the company’s breeding
strategies. Tantau Jr anticipated the market’s need for larger flowered varieties with strong colours, which also had good resistance against fungal
diseases. One of his biggest successes was in 1960, with the salmon-orange hybrid tea Super Star (Tropicana), which created a sensation with its
bright, glossy color, combined with a strong fragrance.
Many other successful strongly perfumed, large flowered varieties with good winter resistance followed, and the company grew rapidly. By 1964,
Rosen Tantau had 70 employees, and was propagating 3 million garden rose plants per year, with Tantau Jr winning many international medals and
trophies for his outstanding rose varieties.
In 1985, Tantau handed the company over to trusted employee and family friend, Hans Jürgen Evers, and Rosen Tantau went on to become one of
the world´s most important rose breeding companies by diversifying its breeding program.
DIVERSIFICATION OF BREEDING PROGRAMS…
Garden rose varieties
Hans J. Evers introduced many rich flowering and disease resistant garden rose varieties in different categories, including the famous Santana (1985)
Black Magic (1995), Candlelight (2001) and Pastella (2004).
Outdoor cut roses
Evers was one of the first rose breeders who selected and bred specialized cut rose varieties to be cultivated outdoors worldwide. One of the first
varieties for this purpose was Diadem, with its different mutations. Later varieties were Monica, Majolika, Softy and today outstanding varieties like
Kessy, Mariatheresia and Nostalgie.
Professional cut rose varieties
With the introduction of the varieties Garnette in 1945 and Osiana in 1989, Rosen Tantau’s great success story started. The specialized cut rose
Osiana was introduced in the Netherlands and then went to South America, and can be seen as Tantau’s ‘’door opener“ to the very important cut
rose market. Later, varieties like Black Magic, Akito and Vendela were launched with great success, boosted by the big increase in worldwide cut
flower consumption.
During the last ten years, Rosen Tantau has become a global player in the field of roses, especially due to the diversification of its breeding programs.
Today Rosen Tantau produces 2.5 million garden rose bushes of all kinds for cut rose production. The historic grounds of Rosen Tantau have been
expanded and reconstructed, and are now the meeting place of rose experts from all over the whole world.
2000 — ROSEN TANTAU’S SUCCESS STORY GOES ON…
In 2000, Hans J. Evers son Christian Evers joined his father in introducing many promising cut rose varieties such as
Cherry Brandy, Prestige and Sweet Haze, which have become famous worldwide. Since Mr. Hans Jürgen Evers sadly passed
away in August 2007, Christian now runs the company. An accomplished rose breeder in his own right, he has released
many brilliant varieties such as Chippendale®, Heidi Klum Rose® Nostalgie® and last but not least the very interesting
red-Rose Piano®.
Over the next years we can assure you that you will see even more beautiful and successful rose varieties
introduced by Rosen Tantau, whether they are cut roses, garden roses, roses for public green areas, pot roses
or roses for other innovative purposes.

A STUDY IN DEDICATION AND THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Yorkshire, England, 1860: John and Robert Harkness, teenaged brothers
who shared a love for the out-of-doors and horticulture, saved their
pocket money and bought their first seeds. Horticulture was to be the life
for them.
By the 1880’s they were successful exhibitors of gladioli and dahlias,
winning championship awards. They expanded their interests to roses,
staging 34 exhibits in 22 days at shows all over Britain and winning
many awards. This involved over 8000 miles of travel: in the days before
automobiles! Roses soon became their primary interest.
In 1895 they established the Rose nursery in Hitchin. Eventually Robert’s
son Bill, who was a perfectionist, took over the business. Bill’s aim was to
grow top quality plants of the best varieties. From 1939 to 1956 Bill won
the Royal National Rose Society’s championship trophy every year it was
staged, and held it 22 times in all, easily a record.
In 1961 the Harkness family made a momentous decision to breed new
roses. Jack Harkness directed breeding work on a major scale, and
within a few years Hitchin-raised varieties were being grown in every
corner of the world. ‘Mountbatten’, ‘Alexander’, ‘Margaret Merril’,
‘Compassion’ and ‘Amber Queen’ proved most successful in the early
years.
Peter Harkness says ‘‘Through peace and war, and changing times,
roses have been the anchor of the business: not always an easy way, but
certainly a pleasurable way to earn one’s living’’.
Guardian Angel
IMPROVED ROSES FOR THE FUTURE
To achieve steady improvement in the quality of roses, R Harkness &
Co conducts a systematic and precise programme for developing new
varieties. The basis of the programme is quality not quantity, designed
so that the rose experts at R Harkness & Co can closely monitor merit at
every stage.
The process begins with parental planning, arranging a marriage
between two roses that have potential to yield a following generation
with improved characteristics. At Harkness many of the parents are from
in-house ‘lines’ of breeding that have been carefully developed over
previous years.
The chosen parents produce families of seeds, each seed from a pair
of parents is similar but not identical. At R. Harkness & Co the annual
average quantity of seeds is 40,000. By the end of the first year for the
original 40,000 seeds, approximately 2% will be selected for further
evaluation. 98% will be discontinued and destroyed.
They then participate in Field Trials. The average period for field trials
is 6 years. Each year the characteristics and performance of the roses
are monitored, the successful ones are re-grafted, and the unsuccessful
ones are discontinued and destroyed. At the end of the 6 year period
all that remains is a small group of survivors, usually from 6 to 10 roses,
representing 0.0025% of the original 40,000.
These are the improved new roses that Robert and Philip Harkness will
use to continue to guide and drive the company into the future.
WE WERE DEEPLY SAD TO HEAR OF THE RECENT PASSING OF
ROBERT HARKNESS, OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO HIS FAMILY.

seedling varieties for Diana to select the one to be named The Princess of
Wales Rose. In due course, and with the appropriate permission from
both the Princess and the Queen, the hybrid known as “Hardinkum” was
chosen. Sadly, The Princess of Wales Rose saw its first official use at

Double Knockout
Ebb Tide
DOUBLE KNOCKOUT™ Shrub (Radtko)
EBB TIDE Floribunda (WEKsmopur)
Double Knock Out™ produces a continuous display of petal filled, classic
shaped, dusky red blooms. This super hardy performer maintains the high
standards set by others in the Knock Out™ range with high disease
resistance to blackspot and other fungal diseases.
Soooo mysterious in its colour and soooo powerfully perfumed it’s certain
to attract attention. Dusky deep purple, some say black, buds swirl open
to very double old-fashioned flowers of velvet plum washed with a haze of
sultry smoke. The intense clove fragrance can nearly bowl you over. But
keep your balance or you’ll find yourself face down amongst the deep
green leaves.
Here is a rose suitable for growing in humid conditions. Long flowering
and easy care. Ideal for the garden or larger landscape areas, Double
Knock Out™ grows well in a container. No formal pruning, just a hard
winter shear is all it needs.

LADY OF MEGGINCH
English Rose (Ausvolume)
With its large, richly-coloured flowers, this is a particularly impressive
variety. The blooms commence as pretty, rounded buds: gradually
opening to form very large, cupped, rosette shaped flowers.
The colour is a very rich deep pink, slightly tinged with deep orange at
first and then changing to a deep rose pink. There is a good fruity Old
Rose fragrance with a definite hint of raspberry. It is very healthy.
A useful rose to create some excitement in a border of softer colours.
The rose is described as ‘delightfully fragrant’ and is a pale pink shade
featuring a darker centre which fades to almost white at the edge of the
petals. Foliage is dark green, glossy and healthy .
A highly fragrant award winning rose, introduced to raise funds for the

cupped at first, becoming shallowly cupped with time. Bushy growth,
forming a broad shrub with good disease-resistance. The leaves are
mid-green; the younger leaves are red-bronze to form a nice contrast.
There is a strong Old Rose fragrance with a fruity note with hints of warm
and fruity with blackberry, blueberry and damson.

Hardworking, My Hero bounces back from adversity and the regular “boy
prune” to stun the opposition with its flower barrage. Everyone has a hero
in their life. Now there is a hero rose, and one that will give you strength
every time it blooms. Accompanying this rose is a specially designed label

Princess of Wales
English Rose (Ausmerchant)
The rose that bears her name has unusually large flowers of a warm,
glowing pink. They are full-petalled and deeply cupped in shape, all
enclosed in a ring of outer petals of a softer pink; creating a most
pleasing effect. In spite of their size, they are never clumsy; being held
nicely poised on a well-rounded shrub. Because of their size, there is a lot
to be said for planting in groups of three, keeping both flowers and
growth nicely balanced. A delicious fresh Tea fragrance which,
interestingly, changes completely to lemon as the flower ages: eventually
taking on additional hints of blackcurrants. It is very healthy.
We are very honoured to name this rose for Princess Alexandra, who is a
cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. She is a keen gardener and great lover of
roses.

The Story of the Princess of Wales Rose
In the English spring of 1996, the British rose breeder, Harkness Roses
presented the household of the Princess of Wales with one plant each of
several newly hybridised seedling varieties for Diana to select the one to
be named The Princess of Wales Rose. In due course, and with the
appropriate permission from both the Princess and the Queen, the hybrid
known as “Hardinkum” was chosen. Sadly, The Princess of Wales Rose
saw its first official use at Diana’s funeral.

The Scouts Australia has been providing youth development activities
nationally since the early 1900’s. The initial Scouts program for boys,
based on the ideals of Robert Baden-Powell, had instant appeal, utilising
‘learning by doing’ and ‘small group’ activities as a means to aid youth
development.
Today, the same principles still apply to a large range of popular activities
for boys, girls, men and women, to make Scouting the world’s largest
youth movement.
A $0.50 donations from each sale
is returned to Scouts Australia.
A very beautiful rose that has an “Olde World’ appeal about it. Abundant
flowers fill this bush from Spring to Winter. Very compact and exuberant
growing hybrid tea filled with beautiful, noble-trained, large flowers. The
colour is a very warm, pleasant medium yellow to apricot. Extremely
healthy glossy brighter green foliage is the essential back drop for these
huge cupped roses.
The flowers open very slowly, spiral shaped and a sweet fresh fragrance
for precious blooms. Quick to repeat, this is a must for any Rose Grower,
make it top of your list!

Floribunda JACideso 2005
Colour: Lavender and Soft Pink
Fragrance: Antique rose
This rose will delight you with a
profusion of fragrant lavender
flowers.This is a vivacious, awardwinning rose produces giant
clusters of high-centered blossoms.
A rose of more modern character than most English Roses. The flowers
start as small buds, opening to full petalled, wide open rosettes of a
bright, deep pink. As the flower ages the bloom becomes dome shaped
while the colour – unusually for the English Roses – gradually intensifies.
The flowers are 2 1/2 - 3 inches across and are produced very freely;
having a light, rather ‘green’ fragrance. A healthy and very bushy shrub of
medium size with a slightly arching habit.
With its bright colouration this would be a good choice to create some
contrast in a border of other roses of softer colouring. It could also be
used in a more formal bedding scheme. Altogether, a strong and healthy
shrub that will grow well even in less than ideal conditions.
Betjeman’s daughter, Mrs Candida Lycett Green and The Betjeman Society
asked us to name this rose after the well-known poet. At the time of his
death in 1984 he held the post of Poet Laureate and is commemorated in
Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey. Best known for his poetry, he was
also a journalist and broadcaster. He was born on the 28th August 1906.

WISLEY 2008 English Rose (Ausbreeze)
This is a rose of exceptional delicacy and charm. The flowers are
shallowly cupped and the petals arranged in a most perfect rosette
formation – their colour being a very pure soft pink. It bears some
resemblance to an old Alba Rose such as ‘Queen of Denmark’. A fresh,

both formal and informal areas of the garden and also, perhaps, for a

YOUNG LYCIDA
English Rose (Ausvibrant)
This is a variety of classic Old Rose beauty. The flowers are quite large
and deeply cupped even when fully open. Their colour is new to English
Roses; a blend of very deep magenta, pink and red – contrasting to the
outside of the petals, which are quite silvery in appearance. There is a
delicious fragrance that changes with the age; starting as a pure Tea

What is FIRESTAR …
The images of Black Saturday have touched us all.
The face of CFA, may be the people in yellow pants and hats, but don’t forget the people behind the scenes.
We have all seen photos of those who helped. Dirty, black and yellow, red and grey, exhausted, crying, smiling quietly over
the little wins, but never ever complaining.Some stood and waited to be sent to the fire front. Others left to protect their local
communities or fought the fires far afield. Their families were left to wait and worry. They gave so much, and expected nothing in
return. Sales of the Rose will raise money for CFA.
