History at Camden Park
This rose is part of a consignement from Veitch’s Nursery, Chelsea, despatched on December the 31st, 1859 on board the ‘Hollinside’, but none survived the journey although a number subsequently appeared in the 1861 list. Although most were probably never grown by Macarthur these roses are of great interest because they bridge the gap between the older style of rose which predominates in the catalogue years, particularly in the 1840s, and the very fashionable, largely new roses of the 1861 list. Together the three groups beautifully illustrate the development of the garden rose in the first 60 years of the 19th century, a period when roses first became the most popular of garden plants.
