Exotic Nursery was located on New South Head Road, Double Bay, NSW.
"in close proximity to the Double Bay new jetty".
There is much more to be read on p279 of The Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens Ed. Richard Aitken & Michael Looker, 2002, Oxford University Press, Melbourne.
Below are roses that have not been added to Michael Guilfoyle’s Exotic Nursery, Sydney 1851 and 1866 catalogue listings on HelpMeFind, either as references or introductions. Instead I have listed them in the nursery’s catalogue’s page. With no descriptions or possible mis-spellings, it is difficult to determine just which roses they were.
