At Sandra and Neil Vandersee's farm garden at Maidenwell we saw a contender for the elusive?? Penelope Tea 1906. This rose was bred in Sunnybank and named for Penelope Corrie, the cousin of Susan Irvine.  The rose tree is so high that Sandra can pick the blooms from the kitchen window of her old Queenslander house that sits on tall stumps. The Rose has been there for about 70 years. [1934]

New Roses 1932.  Clb. Penelope  Clb. T.  (Rosen, 1932), 5.—A moderate growing climber which sported from the dwarf variety in a local nursery. There are many people who appreciate the dwarf variety in spite of its mildewing propensities and where it does well this is a very fine sort. To these clients the climbing variety should make a direct appeal. The outer petals are crimson, while the centre is a light or creamy colour giving an unusual contrast for a rose.

Harry H. Hazlewood. New Roses for 1932. Two other climbers of moderate growth performance are found in ‘Clb. Hugo Roller’ and Clb. Penelope’. Both are of N.S.W. origin and slightly alike as regards flower. As they will provide a better growth when used as bush Roses, they will be welcomed, but do not look as if they will get beyond the pillar stage as climbers.
