Book (Dec 1998) Page(s) 341. Includes photo(s). Kwinana. Modern, Cluster-flowered floribunda. Red blend. Repeat-flowering. This variety makes an impact in the garden on account of its big clusters of brightly colored, single flowers. They are borne stiffly on strong and upright stems after the manner of the parent rose “Orange Triumph” and they open cupped from small plump buds; the color is crimson overlaid with carmine. There is a light fragrance, and the flowering display is well maintained through summer and into autumn. ‘Kwinana’ is still cultivated by one nursery in its country of origin, where it can be used to advantage in mixed borders. It makes a vigorous plant, taller than average, and it has ample leathery, matt green foliage. Zones 4-9. Riethmuller, Australia 1962. (Parentage:) ‘Orange Triumph’ x seedling.
