Matamata: Beautiful decorative blooms, lots of flowers, grows tall. Te Awamutu: Lovely decorative blooms but few flowers. Bay of Plenty: Has several flushes of flowers over season, good in a vase. Manawatu: Tall, lovely soft to medium pink slender shaped blooms, prone to black spot and rust, best in spring and autumn, goes off in the heat, good for picking, repeat flowering is good too. Hutt Valley: Tends to get black spot, colour is dirty pink rather than clear pink, excellent decorative bloom. Marlborough: Good decorative form to the bloom. South Canterbury: Get a good flower and you'll win any rose show.

p33. Peter Elliott. It's All In The Packing !! I remember when dear "Attie" from Cambridge, known to almost everyone, arrived at Palmerston North for the 75th National Rose Show a few years ago. He was clutching a big old brown suitcase. When he unloaded it he had packed about 50 beautiful long stemmed examples of his lovely rose 'Joan Monica' and proceeded to do a stunning display vase of it.

p86. A well grown 'First Love' will typically have exquisite form. Other top contenders in the form stakes are .... and 'Joan Monica'.
