In the book 'Old-Fashioned Gardens' by Trevor Nottle, (1992, Kangaroo Press, viewable online) on page 158 is the following entry under 'Squatter's Dream':

"Squatter’s Dream (1923) A rose bred in Australia by Alister Clark and propagated from plants found growing, complete with labels still attached and legible, at Old Anlaby homestead, near Kapunda in South Australia. The bushes are spreading and covered in dense dark green foliage that is glossy and disease resistant. Masses of single yellow and old gold flowers bloom early and late on a plant that is everblooming in warm areas."

So the original bushes at Anlaby were labelled? This should put any doubts about 'Squatter's Dream' being correct to rest. What seems a little odd to me is that this book was published in 1992, yet the 1995 reference here of how Nottle came across the rose mentions no labels and that would obviously be a crucial factor in identifying the rose. I know from the Tea Rose book that the Anlaby garden was big on labels so it's very plausible that old metal labels were found marking the old bushes, but it just seems odd that this is the sole reference to labels.

Hi Zuzu,

I am hoping you might have cuttings of Kathleen Joyce. I've been searching for this for a long time and would appreciate any help.

This rose has an upright habit, much like a dwarfed version of 'Therese Bugnet'. The canes are very winter hardy even in zone 4 and have a nice purple coloration over winter it also inherited from its dad. It blooms abundantly throughout the growing season. Depending on the weather the blooms can appear a lighter mauve or purple. Often there are white streaks down some of the petals. It won a silver certificate in the American Rose Society American Rose Center Trials in Shreveport, Louisana. It has proven itself in the North and through this test also in the South.

You should get Heirlooms to grow it! We could use smaller North American hybrid types in the West.

I just noticed that this is newly available from High Country Roses this year. I think that is the first time I've seen it for sale anywhere!
