Nickelodeon (MACnickel); McGredy 1989; maroon red/white; 26 reports on 34 plants; 1-6 years; 40cms; 7.1 rating. Has not been grown widely and the reports have been rather diverse in opinion. Some find it performs best in the spring and makes lovely small stems, bright and showy in the garden, good foliage, repeat slow. A grower from Hamilton finds it grows very well in a pot. South Canterbury considers it a cheerful rose when in flower, but it is very slow to repeat blooming. Some find it not so healthy and the mites rather fancy it when they get into full swing in the hot weather.

Nola Simpson. Review of Newer Roses for 1992-93 Season. Miniatures/Patios.
Nickelodeon (MACnickel); McGredy 1989; maroon red/white; 7 reports on 8 plants; I -3 years; 40cms; 6.3 rating. Rated down by reporters from Nelson, Manawatu and Tokoroa indicating they are not impressed and find the plants deteriorate after the first year. A Gisborne grower finds it a lovely bright miniature in the garden but slow to establish and repeat. From WeIlington a report states that it grows weIl in a pot but finds the handpaint style does not appeal. A Nelson grower has a small pathetic plant which is not worth having. It is a rose that covers itself with bloom in the spring and makes a bright display in the garden, flowering falls off after spring with slow repeat and the mites ravage the foliage.
