M. G. Darroch, Atherton. Rose Growing on the Atherton Tableland. My experience with Floribunda roses has not been very encouraging. Goldilocks and Cherry Ripe in their first flush of blooms, threw very nice clusters, but both have now reverted to solitary blooms. My specimen of Alain has only produced solitary blooms also. Reference to the nursery regarding this failing has not produced any satisfactory explanation.

G. A. Williams. Modern Roses [column]. ‘Cherry Ripe’. A sport from ‘Orange Triumph’ having the same characteristic growth. The colour is a light brick red made up of 80 petals, very closely set up, making a miniature rosette, borne evenly in large trusses. Generally not as well received as its twin ‘Pacific Triumph’, it is distinctly novel and nothing like any other poly known to us. It is quite dainty and already has many admirers.

p83 C. W. Heers, Pacific Nurseries, Queensland. Notes from Queensland. The Pacific Nurseries have been testing out a number of varieties of their own raising and these will probably go on to the market in 1950......Also two distinct sports from Orange Triumph which emanated from the one stick of budwood which is I think, a remarkable coincidence, as the flower sported was a pure red. The result was four came red like the original whilst two came a pale salmon pink, out of seven eyes budded. The red will be named ‘Cherry Ripe’ a very closely packed bloom of about 80 petals whereas the pink is like Orange Triumph in petalage and growth and will be named ‘Pacific Triumph’.
