I saw it in person last summer. My take-away was that its hard to even notice that its striped, because the flowers are landscape type, and the stripes dont contrast strongly. I think I prefer Flower Carpet Appleblossom of the three the best (Pink, Appleblossom, or Pink Splash). It looks elegant in the landscape.
Of the series overall, I think Scarlet makes the largest impact in business landscapes, but its not for small gardens at all, and I think Amber is great for pot culture, since it is compact. I think Coral is the best overall, however, because its the most moderate of all the varieties, and the color blends great in modern landscapes.

Mildew was noticed on new growth on mine this morning. Mildew is also a problem on the flower buds during cooler weather.

That seems fairly common with many synstylae types. It is rarely ever problematic.
I am not quite sold on the color of this one, however.

Parentage:
"Origin and Breeding
Spontaneous mutation: ‘Noasplash’ was a spontaneous mutation from the rose variety ‘Noamel’ that was discovered by Sean Arkinstall at his nursery in Gisborne, VIC in Feb 2006. Cuttings were taken from the mutation to establish a trial. Further cuttings were taken later in 2006 to determine stability. In 2008 cuttings were taken from this trial to establish the commercial viability of the new variety by Flower Carpet Pty Ltd in a trial at Silvan, VIC. All subsequent generations have proven to be stable from the original parent. "
VIC means Victoria, Australia.
