p100.  Robert Warren, Queensland.  My Top Australian Bred Rose.
I have been growing Brisbane Blush for several years but it has not been all that vigorous and the blooms mature very quickly so it is difficult to get it right as a show rose.  

p104.  Leo Cooper, Queensland.   My Top Australian Bred Rose.
Brisbane Blush  A very fragrant hybrid tea bred by Peter Long in 1993. A cerise pink to red with a lighter reverse. An upright growth producing single and multi headed flowers. Bred from ('Golden Slippers' x 'Lavendula') x 'Prima Ballerina'.

Editor [?] 'Brisbane Blush' looks like and from its breeding appears to be a classic Grandiflora. BUT, it is classified as a Floribunda, bred by Long in 1993 from ('Golden Slippers' x 'Lavendula') x 'Prima Ballerina', two Floribundas probably producing a Floribunda crossed with a Hybrid Tea. As a Grandiflora, under current NRSA rules, it could be shown as either Hybrid Tea (Decorative Rose) or Floribunda, but the preferred way of showing it in Q'ld is as a Decorative Rose.

p84 Des Doyle. Exhibiting and Judging Roses in Queensland. ....The most popular rose to be on display in the Australian rose and multiple head classes is 'Brisbane Blush'. I guess we are a bit parochial up here.

p133. Richard Walsh. Grandiflora Roses. 'Brisbane Blush' is touted as a great Decorative Rose (basically Hybrid Tea, which raises the question of why Floribundas and Miniatures etc. cannot be decorative) in Queensland, but it is registered in Modern Roses as a Floribunda. Having been bred from two floribundas and a Hybrid tea, it is a classic Grandiflora, genetically and functionally. ....
I am sure 'Brisbane Blush' was registered as a Floribunda because at the time we in Australia did not recognise the class.

Mr. Merv Sugars. Queensland. Brisbane Blush (Australian raised). HT. 1.5 – 2.5m. Bred in Brisbane by Peter Long, I had the pleasure of naming this rose. Strong,healthy bush with attractive healthy foliage. Blooms are good size, bright cerise/red petals shading into cream base. Distinct exotic perfume. Produces clusters and single stem blooms which open fairly quickly but hold on bush. A beautiful addition to the decorative class.

Brisbane Blush. PALock. Modern, large-flowered Hybrid Tea. Red blend. Repeat-flowering. ‘Brisbane Blush’ bears cerise flowers with a silvery cream base. The full blooms contain 25-40 petals and are borne in small clusters. They have a lovely scent which is inherited from ‘Prima Ballerina’. The foliage is medium green, semi-glossy and disease resistant on a plant with an upright growth habit. It has a fairly quick repeat cycle, so these charming plants can be enjoyed throughout the growing season. Zones 4-9. Long, Australia. 1993. (‘Golden Slippers’ x ‘Lavandula’) x ‘Prima Ballerina’.
