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'.

Mab Grimwade. Modern, large-flowered hybrid tea. Yellow-blend. Repeat flowering.
‘Mab Grimwade’ is a small-growing bush that bears flowers of a rich chrome yellow-shaded with apricot tints in the center. The buds are very pretty and open very quickly to double blooms. Most of Alister Clark’s roses are very strong growers; this one is no exception, but it is small to medium in size. The mid-green foliage is disease free, and the repeat bloom is good. This was a popular rose in Australian gardens in the 1940’s when there was a shortage of apricot and yellow roses. Zones 5-10. Clark, Australia, 1937. Souvenir de Gustave Prat’ x Seedling.
