Notes:
This rose was found by Rob Peace at the Hatchell-Brown property in Victoria, Australia. It had been originally planted by Laurel Hatchell-Brown's mother and had been purchased incorrectly labelled as 'Mermaid'. It does not appear to be the same as "Vestey's Yellow", syn "Mulvay Rose" ("Hatchell-Brown Yellow" 10-20 petals, seems to have less petals than "Vestey's Yellow" 15-30 petals). It is a sprawly, leggy rose, not a tea rose. Sparse foliage cover, canes prone to sunburn. Glandular pedicels.
This foundling may be 'Golden Spray', 1917. A "stewed apple" fragrance has been found, and nutmeg and clove has been noted.
Possibilities not yet investigated: Welcome Stranger 1967 Flori.
Identifications discounted: Autumn Delight - the buds of the foundling are longer than 'Autumn Delight'. Captain Thomas - which has red stamens and the leaf seems wrong. Dairy Maid, 1957 - That has no petaloids. Daybreak, 1918.- Buds are too squat Diane - Botanica’s pix does not look the same as HMF Duchess of Wellington - too many petals Eclipse – No. despite the bud seeming right, the flower has more petals (see also McFarland p69 pix) Francesca 1922. HM - Flower is smaller and deeper in colour. Golden Wings - No petaloids Irish Harmony - That was said to be splashed with claret Luna – that is borne mostly solitary Palacky – different form Ulster Gem - The outline of the bloom seems more circular than our foundling
