Book (Dec 1998) Page(s) 512. Includes photo(s). Roller Coaster MACminmo. syn 'Minnie Mouse'. Modern, Miniature, red blend. Repeat-flowering. 'Roller Coaster' has striped red blend flowers that are really a beautiful random mixture of red, creamy yellow and white; no two flowers are identical. The florets are semi-double with 6-14 petals, have a light fragrance and tend to grow in small clusters of 10-12 blooms. The bloom cycle is fast with the fully open flowers being the most beautiful stage, providing a wonderful carpet of bold color mixtures. The foliage is small, mid-green and glossy on a tall, upright, vigorous plant. In semi-tropical climates this rose can grow like a shrub and has a gangly habit if left untended. However, the spreading habit makes it an ideal choice for containers, against a wall, or in a raised bed where it can spill over. This rose was popular in Australia, where it first appeared as 'Minnie Mouse'. Zones 5-10. McGredy, New Zealand, 1987. ('Anytime' x 'Eyepaint') x 'Stars 'n' Stripes'.
