The NRSA and the 2021 World Rose Conventon Organising Commitee commissioned a search for an as yet unreleased Australian bred rose to be named and promoted as the ofcial Conventon rose. Australian rose breeders were invited to enter their roses for judging in the 2017 and 2018 rose trials conducted by the Natonal Rose Trial Garden of Australia, located in the Adelaide Botanic Garden, to be in the running for selecton. The judging panel chose a beautful Floribunda rose (codenamed ‘Brunmarj 4092’), bred by well-known Victorian - based rose breeder Bruce Brundret who has kindly agreed to its selecton as the Conventon Rose. This impressive rose produces medium-sized, delicate pale pink fowers in clusters, a very circular form with many symmetrical rows of small petals and a slight fragrance. The bush grows up to 1m and has healthy, green glossy foliage and good disease tolerance. This rose ofers the best of both worlds, with the repeat fowering and disease resistance of modern roses combined with the charm of old world roses.
