Yes, it is! I would say thanks Jay-Jay but it isn't mine but my sister's. ;-)
It has been rather neglected over the years, not pruned very much except for some larger branches taken out. It's on somewhat sandy soil and certainly on its own roots now as I planted the graft below the ground.

Hope that mine will get as huge in the future.

Unfortunately this specimen fell down in a gale the other day and split in two at the base where the limbs fork . It's currently lying more or less flat on the ground. The foliage from one half is wilting but the other half appears OK so presumably the roots from that side are still functioning.
Obviously we're hoping to save it, but I think half of it is gone. It will need a huge cut-back and hopefully it will reshoot as it is on its own roots. I'm taking plenty of cuttings.
Does anyone have any advice on what to do in this situation?
Also, would anyone in Australia like cuttings from this rose as I have plenty of material? I'd like to be able to know it survives elsewhere if mine don't strike and we lose the bush.

That's a real pity Hubert!
I wish You a "Lucky Strike"... and not the one that smokes.
Hope volunteers will submit themselves to propagate this rose and cherish it , like You did.
Best Regards, Jay-Jay.

Nice to "hear" you again Jay-Jay.
The garden of my new house has three Teas, and I think one is Mrs BRC, so I won't ask for cuttings, thanks.

So no fries of Frisians any more around Your garden any more? You had a wonderful place to live, as far as I could make up from Your photo's Margaret.
I'm not back, but maybe it looked like that, as if I didn't visit HMF at all the past months...
But I did so now and then due to circumstances.

The Friesians I saw on holiday in Tasmania, but I did have occasional kangaroos at my place.
Yes it was a lovely place to live, but 2.2ha became more than I could manage. None of us are getting younger!
Best wishes.

Yup,
2.2 ha is a lot to manage!
And Yup I'm experience the same getting older and a little balder.
None of us are...? I'm not English speaking, but it feels a bit odd for me. In Dutch none would be singular => None of us is getting Younger.

You're right. English usage is a bit careless at times. Or mine is.

Thanks Jay-Jay, and it is indeed good to hear from you again.
Margaret, may I ask what the other Teas are?
Duchesse, no worries, I'll send you a private message.

One is thornless so I'm assuming Mrs Dudley Cross. Not sure about the third yet - I've sent photos to Billy. Planted 15 years ago so not rare. I will be planting a few roses but nothing like the number I had before.
