Glennis Clark. Regional Report, Sydney.
We have a lovely plant of Hugo Roller in Barbara's Garden; it is not a big bush like most of the teas, repeat flowers throughout the year and it's often covered in blooms but we only have one plant and it seems to have disappeared from nursery lists. It is not an easy rose to grow from cuttings but we will keep trying, as we would like another plant for Barbara's Garden.

Roses said to be the Australian-bred Tea rose Penelope so far are indistinguishable from Hugo Roller. Convergent evolution? DNA testing might clarify what’s what, but I can’t justify the cost.

'Hugo Roller', an old Tea rose introduced by William Paul in 1907 that comes in shades of cream, blushed or flushed to varying degrees with carmine and red. Old plants of ‘Hugo Roller’ have been found in a number of locations in Western Australia and Fortuniana 13 all across the temperate zones of Australia. It survives in a number of old gardens in the Guildford area (its name recorded as “Yugerola” on one old garden plan) and has been found in old cemeteries and gardens in Sydney and Melbourne on the east coast and near Adelaide in South Australia......One of the striking characteristics of 'Hugo Roller' is its tendency to produce many thornless canes and stems.

Hugo Roller.  Tea.  The parentage of ‘Hugo Roller’ is unknown, as it came from a batch of mixed seed.  It was introduced by William Paul in 1906.   Hugo Roller has very double creamy, yellow flowers with crimson edges;  they have also been described as canary yellow with claret shading!   Color descriptions are multifarious in the rose world.  It is not the commonest of roses, perhaps, because it requires shading and high culture to do well.  It has compact bushy growth with very few thorns and is repeat flowering.

David Ruston:   Hugo Roller.   One of the great Maman Cochet/Penelope look-alikes.  This Penelope is a Tea rose bred in Australia by Williams in Queensland.  I didn’t have any out, but this is Hugo Roller (slide/rose?)  Very like Maman Cochet but has more deep pink round the edges.  An excellent rose on a fairly short bush.  To a metre to a metre and a half, both high and wide.

Hugo Roller Tea. W. Paul, 1907. [Author cites information from different sources. As to its origins, the Journal des Roses says: The seeds from which it came were sown in mixture, and the cross from which it resulted is thus not recorded; but the traits of the plant would indicate that the variety owes its origin to a cross of a Tea Rose with a Hybrid Tea, or vice-versa.]

Heather Rumsey on Tea roses.   
The pink and white roses, that is the white bordered pink Teas often cause people a problem, but if you just carry out those few little rules and regulations you will find - I’ll mention Marie Van Houtte, Hugo Roller and Penelope (an Australian Tea rose), and the three of them are white with pink edges.  The Hugo Roller doesn’t have very many thorns.  The Penelope has more pink, and more thorns.
