Notes that the rose 'Rev. T.C. Cole' commemorates Rev.Cole of Vic [Victoria, Australia] and goes on to say:
"... released in 1880; it was a seedling of 'Chromatella' X 'Marechal Niel' and as the latter cultivar was a grandchild of the former, 'Rev.T.C.Cole' would be inbred and difficult to identify. Like many Australian cultivars, especially older ones, it is now considered extinct."
