Roy and Heather Rumsey, NSW.  New Roses. 
​​​​Sunburnt Country (Kordes Korav).  This rose will carry the name 'Ave Maria' by the raiser, but as several nurseries including ourselves, are still growing this, we have had to re-name this cultivar.  We were asked to give it a typically Australian name!  Colour is very much like 'Ave Maria' and best described as burnt orange with deeper shades.  However there are forty petals and it is a much firmer bloom, with good form.  Fragrant, and with very good foliage.
