Does anyone know if the Hay, NSW foundling "Oxley D'Archy" is the same as the "Bridgetown BP" etc. rose? If so, we might need to add the name to the growing list of study names for this foundling.

I think David said something about the colour of the stamens. Cree, can you help with this one? I've dropped one clanger already!

I have just added another photo showing the stamens.
Several new flowers today and the stamen area looks different to the other photo, it is very large and a stand out feature. Take a look.

So far this rose has never had orange colour. A soft peach/pink when new, fading to very soft pink with age would be a better description. The base of each petal, front and back is yellow. Size of blooms must be 5-6" across. Leaves are thick and leathery. Thorns are mid sized, well spaced, red when new.
editied to add
To me, based on the photos, it does not look like either Pippie's or Cochet-Cochet

There seem to be many similarities between ‘Warrawee’ and “Kew Cemetery Pink” (with all its synonyms: “Barbara Dundas Rose”, “Bridgetown BP”, “Jamie Kronborg’s Pink” “Miss Ackland No. 1a Special Pink tea/HT”, “Pippie’s Pottery Pink”, “Rowley Street Bridgetown Pink” and “Sheila Gravett’s No. 48”). The only thing which doesn’t jell is the taller (six feet?) height of our foundlings. Would those who grow these foundlings please read the references for ‘Warrawee'. It seems a closer identification than that of ‘Lady Ursula’.

It is not 'Mme Léon Pain' which has a deeper pink reverse. Was 'Lilli von Posern' available in Australia?

Righto. I'll make a note about 'Mme. Leon Pain'.
I've checked all Aussie References and there was no mention of 'Lilli von Posern'
One of these days I might look closer at 'Mme. Segond-Weber', but right now, my money is on 'Warrawee'. Thank you Jedmar, for everything.

Mary Matthews is a found rose and needs double quotes and the prefix Bishop's Lodge before its name.
“Bishop's Lodge Mary Mathews”
Soft pink HT.
Found at Bishop's Lodge, Hay, NSW
1996 Heritage Roses in Australia Inc. journal. Vol 18, No. 4
p20. . David Ruston. Bishop’s Lodge, Hay and its Roses. Hybrid Teas: “Mary Matthews” Named for a daughter of Bishop Anderson. Mrs. Matthews’ early photographs of the rose garden have been most valuable in planning restoration of Bishop Anderson’s Rose Garden. This rose is a very attractive shade of soft pink and very recurrent, very sweetly scented particularly when used indoors.
1999 Botanica’s Roses. 2nd and revised edition Colourpix p401
p401 ‘Mary Matthews’. Modern, Large-flowered Hybrid Tea. Light pink. Repeat-flowering.
Named after a daughter of Bishop Anderson of Hay in New South Wales, Australia, the real name of this rose is not known, but it must be of early twentieth century vintage. The buds are pointed and open to well-formed flowers of pale pink. There are 20-30 petals, and the profuse blooms mainly come one to a stem, last well on the bush and give a quick repeat. The disease-free growth is upright with dark green, semi-glossy foliage. Bishop Anderson was the second Bishop of the Riverina in New South Wales and was famous for his rose garden. Most of his roses survived after 30 years of neglect and very few of them can be identified. Zones 5-10

p46 Brenda Weir (dec’d). [Written in March 1992].
B.L. Mary Matthews. (Rose 9). This rose has a modern look and is probably a hybrid Tea. It is a very attractive soft and even shade of pink. It is recurrent and like all the roses mentioned in this list so far, the scent is light and sweet – not always discernable in the heat of the day, but noticeable when cut flowers are brought indoors.
