I can't help Bruce, but could you give some history about the rose.

Bruce.. it says this on HMF, by Patricia Routley:
Looks like one might be able to contact Mrs Parkes herself to see if budwood could be obtained. Would you like me to contact Patricia for you and ask for some contact details?
A telephone call to Mrs. Marquerite Parkes today revealed that 'Pink Angel' "is still in the Hunter Valley (NSW)". Mistydowns got the rose from Mrs. Parkes years ago and may still have it, although it is not listed in their 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2002 catalogues.
Mrs. Parkes revealed that 'Pink Angel' and 'Jenny Brown' were sister roses from the same pod. I have seen 'Jenny Brown' and it was an exquisite rose.

Hi David, This rose ( Pink Angel) and another called ' Starcent ' together with ' Jenny Brown ' are roses bred by Mrs Parkes of Dural NSW around the late 1970's . I would like to have the three of these to make the set I am sick and tired of Aussies being lost so am trying to do something to preserve them.
I am now looking for anyone with ' Starcent ' for I have located ' Pink Angel'
Simon, thanks for suggesting Mrs Routley though since starting this rescue mission have been Emailing Mrs Routley who has been very helpful and generous with her time. I will contact her direct if you don't mind as I have another matter to seek her opinion on.
ONCE AGAIN HAS ANYONE GROWN OR KNOW WHERE I MIGHT BE ABLE TO
GET ' STARCENT ' BUDWOOD.
HMF lists it as lost, what a shame though I think it is growing out there some where.

Just a thought on your search, do you know if Mrs Parkes, have any descendants that may have the rose their mother bred.
