Cramoisi Supérieur Syns ‘Agrippina’,  ‘Lady Brisbane’.   Old China, Medium red,  Repeat-flowering.       The small, semi-double flowers of this China Rose are cupped and a clear and unfading red, sometimes with a white streak.    They appear in clusters, repeat regularly throughout the year and give a raspberry fragrance. The small foliage is rather spare on a wiry 6 ft (1.8m) shrub, but can be cut back regularly to promote bushiness and continual flowering;     it is an excellent plant for the border or in a container.     Known to some as the ‘old Bermuda red rose’,  it has naturalized itself on that island, which proves that it can grow well under adverse conditions.     ‘Climbing Cramoisi Superieur’ (Couturier, 1885) can reach 15 ft (4.5m) if properly trained.    Cramoisi is the French word for crimson.    Zones 6-11.    Coquereau, France, 1832.    Seedling of Salter’s (sic)  (Slater’s?) Crimson China.

Ian Percy, East Corrimal, NSW:    My collectors item rose booklet is one written by Heather Rumsey called Old Fashioned Roses.    It is perhaps the most sensible and sensitive writing one can find on the topic.     There is even a bit of history, as here when she describes Lady Brisbane“. This rose is the same as Cramoisi Superieur.    Lady Brisbane was the wife of one of our early Governors in New South Wales.    The Governor was not knighted until he was back home again.   He left behind the first observatory which was at Parramatta.     He was also responsible for the beginning of the Agricultural Society.     You may choose this rose with whichever name you prefer.”
