Patricia Routley.  Keeping Records.  This used to be known as " Peace's Best Gallica" until we found it was no gallica, so we just dropped the misleading word gallica off the study name.  Through correspondence, I've learnt that Rob Peace found this rose in the Melbourne Cemetery in the 1980s.  Theoretically he should have given it a study name of the grave name, but Heritage Roses in Australia had just been formed in 1979 so he is quite forgiven.  At the very least, he collected and saved the rose and passed it on.     In my records the cemetery became caretaker-1; Rob when taking the cutting became caretaker-2; he passed cuttings on to Esmond Jones who actually "study named" it "Peace's Best Gallica".  Esmond was caretaker-3; He passed cuttings on to Pat Toolan-4; who in 2004 passed cuttings on to me, caretaker-5; and I show it in my records as:
328   “Peace’s Best”  Hybrid bourbon or china. Smooth hips, dappled colour, tiny thorns (Melbourne Cemetery-1;   Rob Peace in the 1980s-2;   Esmond Jones-3;   Pat Toolan-4;)
