1976 August. Queensland Garden
p42. H. K. Cresswell. A rose that attracted a great deal of attention at the June Show of the Queensland Rose Society was a new hybrid tea, as yet unnamed. It originated in Queensland. The rose, very deep coral pink in colour, first appeared spontaneously on one shoot of a plant of ‘Christian Dior’ in the garden of Mr. C. Matthew of Mt. Gravatt. This sport of the deep red ‘Christian Dior’, carries all the characteristics of its parent except for colour, its classical form and full petallage, its growth and foliage, are all the same. Mr. Matthew has budded it onto understocks and raised numerous plants, all of which are true to the new type, so it appears to be a stable new variety. It is as yet unnamed, but he intends to have it registered with the National Rose Society of Australia as ‘Margaret Anne’, called after his daughter.

'Reine France' HT (Delbard). Clear deep pink to salmon, very full large flowers. The outline of the bloom is dependably rounded, and the petals evenly placed, the centre is frequently as desired by exhibitors and he blooms are always attractive and long lasting. The growth is nothing short of fantastic, being long stemmed, sturdy, vigorous and free flowering. This attribute is found in many varieties produced by Delbard. Fragrant.

Well Known Queensland Rose Hybridist, Fred Armbrust. ….One of the most promising of these understocks has been named Rose Mitchelton, and one Brisbane nurseryman has gone over completely to it, while another very prominent Victorian nurseryman has planted out 10,000 cuttings for use during the 1967 season. It is completely thornless, and is mildew and blackspot resistant, and can be used as a hedge. It is also completely covered with pale pink blooms for a long period in spring.

Winetta Roses. Some time ago, Mr. John Wynne, of Rosallon Nurseries, Sunnybank, noticed that the rose ‘Gartendirektor Otto Linne’, classified in 1934 as a Lambertiana rose by its propagator, P. Lambert, was noticeably resistant to common rose diseases and insect pests. He cross pollinated this rose and multiflora, raising therefrom an actively growing, strongly branching variety which under trial proved to be a valuable stock. Cuttings of this new stock were forwarded to Denmark last year for trial purposes, and certain propagators in England are interested. The Official Journal of Patents, Trade Marks and Designs, of 23rd December, 1965 shows the registration of this stock under the Trade Mark ‘Winetta’ in Class 31, Agricultural, Horticultural and Forestry Products, etc. This is a great achievement for Queensland horticulture. Winetta roses (that is varieties budded on Winetta stock) will be available this season.
