Frank Penn, NZ. ‘Hector Deane’ (1938) I cannot understand why this glorious rose seems to have gone into oblivion. Many years ago I saw a vase of eighteen long-stemmed blooms of this rose, all grown upon one bush, at a rose show at Takapuna, and they were a sight to behold. ‘Hector Deane’ has won championship honours, and has a delightful fragrance.
