p43 Claret Cup’. Origin. Frank Reithmuller Australia 1962. Breeding: Parentage unknown.
One of a group of fine reliable roses bred by Reithmuller and all resembling polyanthus. ‘Claret Cup’ is a little bit more than single, coloured deep pink with a white eye. The flowers are in big clusters on thornless, compact bushes which are continually in bloom all summer and autumn. Two other roses by the same breeder = ‘Gay Vista’, a little paler in colour, and ‘Honeyflow’ creamy-white with just a hint of pink – can be totally recommended. They all look stunning on standards. These are all excellent worthwhile shrub roses which will hopefully reach New Zealand by way of Kauri Creek Nursery. Size 1 x 1m.

‘Francesca’.  Origin, Pemberton, UK 1928  Breeding ‘Danae’ x ‘Sunburst’.    Good roses of this quality and colour, apricot-yellow to primrose, are rare.    A medium-sized to tall strongly arching shrub with plenty of dark glossy foliage which has good repeat to continuous blooming.    The sprays of flowers are loosely double on strong red-brown stems and have a pleasant tea scent.   This graceful plant is quite strong enough without support but can be successfully grown as a smaller climber.  Nigel and Judy Pratt have done this effectively, combining ‘Francesca’ with ‘Pax’ over an archway at their Tasman Bay Nursery in Nelson.   Size 1.5 x 1m.
