This rose is sold in New Zealand as'Frilly Jilly', and in Australia as 'Bennelong Gold'.

Originally Bob Melville introduced it as 'Foundation' in Western Australia for a local charity (not sure exactly when) under the incorrect code name HORcoherent, but since the PBR lapsed a while ago, we (Roses and Friends) are re-introducing it as 'Bennelong Gold', to celebrate the 150th birthday of the Royal Horticultural Society of New South Wales. It's being launched in Sydney on the 31st May by Don Burke at the Rockdale Community Nursery. Unfortunately the labels were printed last year, so when we print the next batch, they will have the correct code name, HORjilly.

Thanks for that Steve. I think we have got it correctly listed now.
The RHS of NSW sesquicentenary events page website is saying the launch is on Wednesday, May 30. And please, please, please would you support HelpMeFind. Membership is just $US24. I would love to see that red star on your comments indicating that you are a supporter. I know you and Sue can contribute so much knowledge to HelpMefind.

I must also say that it certainly is not orange pink as the description reads. I would say it was a strong amber yellow, fading paler with age.
