And a follow-up: some years ago, Pat Toolan was shown a rose collected from an inner suburban cemetery, and gave it the study name “Rob Swinbourne’s Mauve”. Roses in poor condition can be hard to identify. Later we were given cuttings, and then heard that the parent plant had died. There was one cutting left in a doggy-bag, blackening from the base up. Urgent rescue needed. We obtained a David Ruston OAM Grant to have it tissue-cultured, and then had the resulting plant budded. Eventually we could publish a photo of a potted plant in the Journal, but it looked pinkish, which can happen with some potting mixes. This year there is a thriving budded plant in the Blakiston Schoolhouse Garden. Unfortunately, common things occur commonly. The smartypants who said the potted plant was just another "Anais Segalas" was right.

Margaret Furness.  "Anaïs Ségalas": a springie well worth growing. 
.....We have had overseas visitors say that what we grow under this name in Australia and New Zealand is incorrect, which is why I’ve put it in double inverted commas, though I think the jury’s still out. ......
Ours is a lovely rose; sweetly scented, opening rosy-purple and fading through lilac- pink to blue-grey. It is similar to Reine des Violettes but more profuse in its flowering, which occurs only in spring. Trevor Griffiths commented that the colour varied depending on whether it was on clay or sand. "Anaïs Ségalas" is very double, with a button eye around a green pip. It has bristles but few prickles, and doesn’t set hips. It starts flowering much earlier than the gallicas, in October, with a fairly long flush. The leaves colour in autumn.  "Anaïs Ségalas" used to be a common plant in damper areas, before the councils started eradicating roadside roses, and can still be found in old gardens and churchyards. Its colours were popular for memorial roses. Maureen Ross tells me that it was used as an understock, which may partly be why it is widespread. It suckers, which helps it survive – and is why it is no longer used by budders. It has acquired a number of study names, including “Bellarine Peninsula Rose” (Vic), “Evandale Workman's Cottage" and “Mt Torrens” (SA), and “Es’s not Belle de Crécy” (Rookwood). Es Jones said our rose had occasional repeat flowers for him in the Hunter Valley, but I haven’t heard of repeat elsewhere.  On its own roots or in shade "Anaïs Ségalas" can be thin and straggly, climbing through other plants (lowest photo, naturalised near a creek). My budded plant in full sun is densely foliaged, reaching about 1.5m high, and arching. I wouldn’t be without it.

....’Petite Renoncule Violette’. Is much darker and smaller than my lovely favourite Anais Segales, bred in France in the late 1830’s, whose introduction into Australia, again seems unrecorded.

Eileen Lowther, Victoria.
Some 16 to 18 years ago (I think) I wrote to tell of my adventure in braving the giant maw of a bulldozer in Old Geelong Rd to get what I believe was he last plant of what was known as the "Bellarine Peninsula Rose.  It was a close thing but I came away triumphant waving my spade at the driver as I went!  Jean Gilmour, who has since died, and I and one or two others pondered over its name once it had flowered but I can't in any way be certain that it is 'Anais Segalas' 1837 as described by Michael Gibson in The Book of the Rose.  What I can say with certainty is that it is not only a little charmer but a wonderful thruster of roots among trees and shrubs.  the photo is of the rose growing from one piece given to my cousin Sue Harris about 5 years ago.  I have given dozens of pieces away at all times of the year and still have plenty. .....It is evergreen and the flowers just top the 4 ft fence and is a joy to behold - once flowering of course, and probably a Gallica.

Some roses flowering at present: Gallicas rather too many to list - Anais Segales prolific.
