p230 Then I made the acquaintance of ‘Carabella’ ‘Cara Bella’ her breeder called her. She came as a gift in a parcel of roses from South Australia with a note saying simply: “Try this. It’s good.”. So I did try it. And it is good. In fact, for length and continuity of flowering, it is one of the best in the garden. It has a strange little flower, pale pink and white, in shape more like an azalea bloom than a rose - but its little flowers are borne in great clusters and for months on end. The foliage is plentiful, light green and attractive – and there are almost no thorns. If I had room for more hedges, I would plant a hedge of ‘Carabella’. It grows tall but doesn’t mind being cut back. In fact, it doesn’t seem to mind anything much. I grew it at Bleak House, where it had inadequate drainage and stood for months with its feet in a bog. Where other roses would have pined away, it soldiered bravely on. Where I grow it at Erinvale, at the top of the Rugosa Bank, it has insufficient water and is exposed to north wind. It is impervious to this and, backed by a hedge of French lavender (Lavandula dentata), which also blooms for months on end, is one of the stand-bys of the garden. ‘Carabella’s manifold virtues led me to enquire about her breeder. I could find little. His name was Riethmuller and he lived in Sydney, at Turramurra. As is the case with all of our rose breeders except Alister Clark, he seems to have regarded rose breeding as a hobby, for he released few roses – perhaps twenty. Most of them are now lost.

p56 Mr. Gordon Nolan, S.A. I have a plant of ‘Carabella’ struggling along in my garden. I took it as a cutting from a friend’s bush, not so much for the flower which is small, single and light pink, but for the free bloom display that it gives.
p63 Mr. Peter Burton, S.A. Carabella. Hybridist Frank Riethmuller of N.S.W. This Polyantha rose with clusters of pale pink blooms and white centre is healthy, vigorous, and free-flowering. A rose for every garden. This has a special place in our garden as we view the beautiful trusses from our kitchen window, on most days of the year. .
