Trees and Shrubs
A division of the Camden Park catalogues that is not clearly defined. In broad terms it includes all plants with woody stems except conifers and fruit trees and shrubs.
Rosa ‘Gloire de Colmar’
Gallica rose. The flowers are a rich velvety crimson, form compact, described as one of the best show roses, and listed by Rivers among the finest crimsons in this group. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857)].
Rosa ‘Gloire de Dijon’
A Tea rose. According to William Paul ‘Gloire de Dijon stands unrivalled and alone’. Flowers yellow, faun and salmon, large, full and globular. Very hardy, it apparently withstood the very severe frosts of 1860-61 in England, when most other roses were killed. [Paul (1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Amat]. ‘In its foliage, habit and shape, and size of its flowers, it is almost an exact resemblance of the Bourbon Rose ‘Souvenir de la Malmaison’, and, like that fine Rose, it requires dry warm weather to open its flowers to perfection. Its perfume is Tea-like and powerful, and in colour it is quite unique, being tinted with fawn, salmon and rose, and difficult to describe’. Thomas Rivers, in The Gardeners’ Chronicle, 1854.
Rosa ‘Gloire des Mousseux’
Damask Moss rose. An upright rose with carmine red flowers with a salmon pink centre. Although mainly summer flowering, it will occasionally produce autumn blooms. To 1.3m. [Paul (1863, 1888), Rivers (1857, 1863), Amat].
Rosa ‘Great Western’
Hybrid Bourbon rose. ‘Great Western’ has crimson-scarlet flowers marbled with violet-purple, varying considerably, sometimes brilliant sometimes dark and beautiful. The flowers are produced in great clusters, very large, globular and double. Paul considered it to be an extraordinary rose, forming an immense tree and producing a splendid effect when in flower. Raised by Laffay from ‘Celine’. [Paul (1848, 1863), Gard. Chron. p.356/1843].
Rosa ‘Harrisonii’
‘Harrisonii’ is a shrubby, spring flowering rose, very fragrant, bearing its cupped, semi-double yellow flowers on a neat, upright bush, more robust than ‘William’s Yellow’. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Hébé’
A Hybrid Provence rose. ‘Hébé’ has flesh-coloured, large and full and cupped flowers, its habit erect on a moderate shrub. [Paul 1848, FC p.42/1850].
Rosa ‘Helen Paul’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Helen Paul’, a seedling of ‘Victor Verdier’, is a pure white rose, sometimes shaded pink, large, full and globular in form. [Paul 1888].
Rosa ‘Imogen’
A cluster-flowered Hybrid China bred by John Bidwill at Camden Park. Macarthur referred to it as a ‘new hybrid, pure white’ in a letter to John Bailey, nurseryman of Adelaide, in 1845.
Rosa ‘Jacques Lafitte’
A Hybrid Perpetual rose, the flowers are carmine pink or rosy-crimson in colour.
Rosa ‘Jaune Deprez’
Noisette rose. A vigorous climber with apricot-yellow flowers and a reliable repeat-flowerer. In my garden the pink tones predominate and it scarcely warrants the name ‘yellow’.
Rosa ‘Joasine Hanet’
Although most modern authors regard ‘Joasine Hanet’ as a Damask Perpetual rose, Paul, in the first edition of The Rose Garden, places it in a group with an affinity for the ‘Rose de Trianon’. See Rosa ‘Sydonie’ for details. [Paul 1848]. The flowers are of medium size, full, purple-red in colour, borne in clusters. [Paul 1848].
Rosa ‘Joseph Decaisne’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Joseph Decaisne’ has rose coloured flowers and was considered by Rivers to be remarkable for the elegance and perfection of its flowers, along with ‘Lucie de Barant’ and ‘William Grifiths’. [Rivers 1854].
Rosa ‘Jules Margottin’
Thomas Rivers considered that it ought to have been named ‘Brennus Perpetual’ because of its similarity to this old Hybrid China rose. Hybrid Perpetual. A ‘La Reine’ seedling, it has a vigorous habit, thick, dark green foliage and shapely, pointed buds which open to large, flattish, finely shaped, strongly scented, light vivid crimson flowers. To 1.2m. [Paul (1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Gard. Chron. 1856, Amat].
Rosa ‘Kean’
Gallica rose. Velvety crimson, shaded with purple, fine centre; large and very full. Rivers describes its colour as approaching to scarlet and really very beautiful. [Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Paul (1848, 1863, 1903), FC p.227/1857].
Rosa ‘Königin von Dénemark’
An Alba rose. ‘Königin von Dánemark’ has deep pink flowers and grows to about 1.5m, ‘one of the deepest coloured of this section’, according to The Gardeners’ Chronicle. Paul described it as rosy pink, with paler margins, the flowers of medium size, full and cupped. It produces a moderately sized bush of erect habit. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863) Gard. Chron. 1841].
