Ted Phillips, Victoria. ‘Delore’ – A sport of ‘Folklore’. Flowers are very pretty in a pale buff colour, but the plants lack the vigour of the parent. Some claim this will make a better bunch than ‘Diamond Jubilee’ but I have doubts as the flowers to date have been too short to make a great bunch.

p21-4 E. B. Pietsch. Review of Varieties Introduced into Australia in 1983. Delore. Kordes. 6 reports. Garden display rating 7.7, exhibition rating 7.0. A ‘sport’ of ‘Folklore’. Very light buff colour. Growth medium to tall. Healthy plant. Slow to open in spring in Tasmania. Most reports praise this rose.
p82-2 Ivan Le Fevre. Tasmania. Another autumn rose in Tasmanian conditions is ‘Delore’. Rather slow to open in our cooler spring weather ‘ Delore’ produces some beautiful exhibition blooms in the autumn. It is far more weather resistant than ‘Folklore’ its ‘parent’ and, like ’Our Rosamond’, has the ability to hold its blooms for long periods on the bush with almost no change. A strong, vigorous grower, it should probably be treated as a climber but my bush is in a bed with other bush roses at this stage.
p87-6 Mr. Len Johnstone, Queensland. ‘Delore’, nice pleasing buff colour with tinges of pink, is quite a useful exhibition rose mainly for multiple entries.
p90-7 Lionel Lawrence. Victoria. ‘Delore’, 1983. I have grown this variety for two years only and already the creamy buff to pale apricot blooms indicate it will become a fairly good rose for exhibiting. Timing the blooms for show dates is not easy.
p92-7 Kevin Johns, Queensland. ‘Delore’ A nice shaped rose, but inclined to be soft. At its best in cold, dry weather.
p95-2 ‘Delore’ Sport of ‘Folklore’, same growth habit, good for bunches, spring show.
p96-9 Ian Spriggs, Victoria. I would also like to mention three other varieties, ‘Delore’ a sport of ‘Folklore’ is very promising.

Roy and Heather Rumsey. New Roses. Delore. This is a “sport” of ‘Folklore’. The colour is a deep cream which has flushes of blush pink at times, and rather like ‘Diamond Jubilee’; the colour is mostly a deep cream. It is of course a well-formed bloom and keeps well. It does not appear to grow as tall as ‘Folklore’ which is an advantage.
