Governor McQuarie rose

Does anyone have Governor McQuarie rose , i have heard on this page and research too that it has great perfume and great disease resistance . Its one i am going to trial next year in pots along with Deane Ross , Dame Joan Sutherland , Onkaparinga , Amazing Grace , and a yellow , all these supposed to be fragrant and disease resistant ....... Fragrant Cloud too , just for its fragrance , hope its not a BS magnet in our climate ....

Maree I got Governor Maquarie this season after I was after it for a while and found it hard to find at nurserys.It's by Swanes bred by Trevor Grant.Very disease resistant and a big bushy grower and healthy plant.Flower is so pretty and classy with nice shape.Perfume is good,but not strong.Mine has a few buds soon to open again and will post a few pics.Awsome rose tho.

Fantastic Danny , have you sprayed it at all , they say if you spray with chemicals , twice a year is enough , for Governor Mac . I don't use them , i use Neem oil and Seasol , fragrance is really important though , thanks .......

I sprayed it once Maree only had 1 or 2 leafs with BS very disease free.As I said perfume is not strong just nice.It has got a few flowers at one time on it's stems going to open to .

Thanks Danny , thats one i'll have to trial next year, thanks again ....

went to get another Gov Mac and got told that they had a production mishap with them and now can't get one....

Oh was that from Swanes Neptune , how about next year ?

no Dawsons...but I may have found an advanced plant.....

Thats good , sounds like you got lucky , i have dragged my husband all over Victoria , chasing roses lol , he's been extremely patient with my rose passion , always chasing that elusive ' perfect " rose lol .....

this will cost me a 190km one way trip to pick up...

Mmmmnn , happy driving !!!!!
