[From "My Adventures Rose Rustling In My Own Back Yard", by Jackie Schmidt, pp. 2-7] The buff colored rose remained nameless for what seemed like several hours. I was having a marvelous time looking at roses and listening to the speakers, and every once & a while I would go hopefully back and look at my rose on the “mystery” table. At about my fifth visit, a small slip of paper had appeared next to my rose – on it was written “Anna Olivier” – that was all ...The ladies from Australia gently repeated that they all thought it was a tea rose they were familiar with in Australia called ‘Anna Olivier’. I distinctly heard one of the men, I don’t know which, say “I have never seen that rose before”. What I can only describe as a stunned silence fell after he said that. The discussion continued, but no one changed their opinion. I was delighted. I had just assumed that someone knowledgeable about roses would look at my rose and recognize it as something old but common. It had never occurred to me that it might be rare or really a “lost” rose. A few days later Cass Bernstein came by my house to take some cuttings of it for Vintage Gardens. She gave the rose the study name “Schmidt’s Buff Giant”.
