T.  General Gordon  Bennett, NSW

Of the several roses standing against Bennett’s name,  it is to be explained that the plants were originally raised in England by H. Bennett, a prolific hybridiser of his day, and on his death, circa, 1892 [1890], they became the property of his son, C. Bennett, at that time in business at the Standard Nursery, Homebush, N.S.W., and were by him first distributed to the trade – curiously enough, none of them seem to have reached England.  They can, however, all be obtained from the  Manager, Royal Nurseries, Homebush, which I believe is the successor in business of the Standard Nursery
