Hello there - I am a great great grandson of the breeder - now living in New Zealand, and would very much like to get hold of some cuttings from a plant already in my country, since legal importing is going to be extremely painful due to phytosanitary precautions) . Any leads much appreciated. Otherwise/alternatively, anyone anywhere in the world interested & able to support me to import would be appreciated - I would of course pay all associated costs! Thank you.

Could Heather Cant at “Gowan Brae”, Burradoo, NSW help you? I have a vague memory she collected a few Cant roses.

Would someone who grows this rose please post photos - a side view of a bud, foliage, and a side view of prickles.

Responding further to HubertG's photo comment.
Yes, I agree they are the same roses. But different photos - there is quite a gap between the right hand bud and the bloom in the coloured photo. I think when we have a good subject, one takes several photos to choose the best.
I think I had 'Reverend F. Page-Roberts once. It lived here for a couple of years and later died. I am sure I asked about getting a replacement but have a memory that the original plant had died. It was utterly beautiful and all I have left of it is a couple of photos.

There seem to be pictured two ("completely") different roses under this name. Or is one the sport of the original yellow-one?
