William MacArthur at Camden Park shared plants with the Darling Nursery who gradually expanded their stock with the help of Camden Park.
An 1843 Camden Park catalogue survives, thanks to Rob Swinbourne and Pat Toolan.
The 1845 listing of roses growing at Camden Park, near Sydney, was published on page 105 in Dr. A. S. Thomas 'Growing Roses' and contained 42 roses "with many others". [This appears to be Camden's 1850 catalogue, and not 1845]
A fuller version of the same list was published by Trevor Nottle in By Any Other Name issue 23, page 23, in March 2021 and contains an additional 35 roses. [This plate appears to be Camden's 1850 catalogue. The same numbers are quoted by Colin Mills in his Hortus Camdenensis website]
