In 1993 seed parent ‘Ausgold’ crossed with pollen parent unnamed seedling. The seeds produced were sown Jan 1994. From this seedling population, the best seedling was selected from which six buds were grafted to ‘Laxa’ rootstock. Selection criteria: 'English' style rose with good fragrance and disease resistance. This seedling (to be known as ‘Aushunter’) was further trialled and in 1996 selected for multiplication. Bud grafting was conducted each year to produce approximately 3000 plants by 1999. This seedling appeared to be genetically stable. Breeding directed by D.C.H.
