A crimson floribunda called 'Alma' was probably bred about 1942 and was still around to be registered in 1957, but seems now to be lost.

p40 Chip's Apple Blossom' was given unnamed to Edith 'Chip' Smallwood (1915-1994), who became Mrs. Wilfred 'Bill' Farram and a well known Sydney figure.
Mary Davis [says] Chip Smallwood used to sell her rose as a fundraiser for the Henry Street Infants' Home. Chip led the 23A Club, a garden club named for the Farram House at 23A Cleveland Street, Wahroonga. It was Mary who named the rose, in 1988 (Source Margaret Furness)
The point is that, to the small and neat Mrs. Farram, Riethmuller gave a small and neat rose.

p23. The nurseryman Bruce Treloar....may have discovered 'Esmeralda' and a similar one to 'Esmeralda' that came with the property.

p47 Decades later in Toowoomba she (Elsie Bischof] told Dawn Eldridge, who had obtained 'Esmeralda' from a friend.....

p48 At least seven Riethmuller roses .... and Esmeralda' disappeared from view, in most cases never to be seen again.

p56 'Esmeralda' is similar to 'Spring Song' but with more magenta, rather less double flowers and dark, almost unlined leaves. The scent is a rich combination of multiflora and damask. Some gardeners believe plants grown in Queensland as 'Esmeralda' are really Lambert's original 'Gartendirektor Otto Linne'. If so, they will have lighter green leaves and no damask component of their scent.

p69 Photo. 'Esmeralda' identified by its dark leaves, on the Darling Downs.

p40. We know of one Riethmuller rose which was named but never released. 'Showboat' was a hybrid tea, "a bit like 'Ena Harkness' in flower, but with an even weaker neck." Roger Mann personal communication.
No horse called Showboat was racing in Sydney when Roger Mann saw the rose in the early Sixties, but the musical film Show Boat came out in 1951. Given the usual pattern, the rose was probably bred before 1951 and named in 1951.

p61 As we have seen, Roger Mann reports a red hybrid tea called 'Showboat' grown at Turramurra. This rose may be 'Denise McClelland' under another name.

p60. 'Showboat'. No date. Hybrid tea. Red. Extant - unknown.
p60. 'Denise McClelland'. 1964. Hybrid tea. Dark red. Extant - unknown.
