p85. Charles Bennett.(fl 1880-90s) landscape gardener and nursery proprietor, was apparently the son of well-known English rose-breeder Henry Bennett (1823-1890). He arrived in Sydney c1886 and by 1890 had established the Standard Nursery, Homebush. ....His Practical Treatise on the Culture of the Rose (1891), a modest but early Australian work on roses, elicited praise from ‘Mrs. Rolf Boldrewood’ in The Flower Garden in Australia (1893). RA.

pp104. A son, [of Henry Burton Bradley 1815-1894] Henry Houghton Burton Bradley (1845-1918), continued his father’s enthusiasm for horticulture. He was a foundation member of the Linnean Society of New South Wales (1874), wrote for the horticultural press, and gave lectures to local horticultural societies. He was a noted bulb grower and hybridist (especially Narcissus), his skill in this field admired by Peter Barr.

Recently Mrs. H. H. Hazlewood has come into possession of a manuscript book compiled by the late Mr. A. K. Moore who was very active in the Rose world about 25 years ago [1916] and from which the following additions to the list [of Australian roses] have been compiled.....

Arthur Moore, Hunter’s Hill, N.S.W.  Some Australian roses. 
1893 T. Mrs. H. H. B. Bradley   Bennett NSW

Of the several roses standing against Bennett’s name,  it is to be explained that the plants were originally raised in England by H. Bennett, a prolific hybridiser of his day, and on his death, circa, 1892 [1890], they became the property of his son, C. Bennett, at that time in business at the Standard Nursery, Homebush, N.S.W., and were by him first distributed to the trade – curiously enough, none of them seem to have reached England.  They can, however, all be obtained from the  Manager, Royal Nurseries, Homebush, which I believe is the successor in business of the Standard Nursery

The following roses* were raised by the late H. Bennett, of Shepparton, England and are in every respect first-rate.
Mrs. H. H. Bradley, s.[suitable for exhibition]; g.[garden]; d.[decorative]. Large, full, cupped; true salmon colour; a very vigorous grower of bushy habit. A seedling from Mme. la Barrone de Rothschild x Mme. Berard, having the foliage of the latter but is not a climber. A very remarkable result of hybridisation.

[*Note – The four roses listed are Cleopatra, Mrs. H. H. Bradley, Mrs. C. B. Pitt, and Mrs. James Wilson. Old Roses: The Master List 2007, p464 attributes ‘Mrs. James Wilson’ to A. Dickson, 1889]
