p10. When ripe the hips will turn orange in colour, some varieties will be red, some pale green to very light orange as is the case in ‘Mrs. Mary Thomson’.

p12 ….Coming up to Christmas, flowers will appear on your small seedlings. Now is the time to assess, this is a very important period of time. This period is a prime example of the element of luck. “Have I kept the best one?” The first flowers to appear will all be single. Some breeders automatically discard all single flowering plants. Don’t be too hasty, some of the singles might well have some worthwhile attributes. For example, beautiful lush foliage, very high disease resistance, or even thornless. I have kept many lovely single seedlings over the years and many of them are the seed parents I use today. For example the seed parent of ‘Susan Irvine’ (Tom-Sue)
[Note - the Seed parent of 'Susan Irvine' was 'Mrs. Mary Thomson']

Mrs. Mary Thomson. TOMone. Modern, Modern Shrub, pink blend. Repeat-flowering. The semi-double flowers of this rose which occur in very large clusters are lilac pink with cream centers and prominent golden stamens. The flower form is informal and decorative and there is a very distinctive fragrance. The foliage is matt green and the stems are thornless. It has a bushy habit and is very disease resistant. This rose was described by Australian rose breeder Ian Spriggs as “the sort of rose we should all be trying to breed.” It was named in honour of the mother of the breeder, George Thomson of Mount Barker, South Australia.
