Overhill Pink". Lexie Mincham, Adelaide.  
This rose was in our secretary Lexie Mincham’s garden at Cherryville in the Adelaide Hills when she and her husband bought it 45 years ago. The house was built in the 1870s. There were a number of heritage roses in the garden, including an unidentified HP and a damask. In early summer of the first year Lexie noticed a pink flower at the top of an enormous Viburnum laurustinus hedge which, given that the property was totally reliant on rain water, must itself have been very old to have reached this size. She dug in under the shrubbery and found the remains of an old rose garden. As the original owners were poor, it is likely that the roses on the property had been taken as cuttings from other gardens in the district, possibly including from the old Vice-Regal Summer Residence at nearby Marble Hill.  The plant in the Blakiston Schoolhouse garden has long upright canes, which are well-armed, and fairly brittle. The flower stem is bristly. The receptacle is variable, sometimes being almost flat, and the occasional flower has 6 sepals instead of the usual 5. The bloom is opulent: candy-pink (silvered by printers’ CMYK colours in the photos) with a pale reverse to the petals, and so double it can ball. Fully open it may reach 15cm across. The flowers are sweetly scented (Musk Lifesavers). We are assuming it’s an HP but don't know yet how much it will repeat in good conditions

Margaret Furness:  So Many Pink-and-Silvers - a brief overview of found Hybrid Perpetuals at Renmark.
“Overhill Cherryville” is another shrub-climber, but one I’m uneasy about calling a Hybrid Perpetual. It’s prickly but less bristly, and the bud can be high-centred.
