copying posting May 27, 2009 from Breeder: Alister Clark to 'The Ruddy'
'The Ruddy' is interesting, Sandie. It almost sounds as though it may have been one of Alister's seedlings, but it doesn't exactly say that it was. Has any one else heard of 'The Ruddy'? - Patricia Routley
Hi Patricia-the whole paragraph was about Alister Clark's seedling roses so I would
assume that 'The Ruddy' was one of his seedlings that he had given a name to.
I looked for further reference to 'The Ruddy' but could find nothing. - Sandie Maclean
Well, we will assume it was an Alister Clark seedling too. Better that, than to lose this information again. We will open up a file for 'The Ruddy' and perhaps one day more information may enlighten us further. Well done Sandie. That, along with 'Quick Sticks' is the second Alister Clark you have bought to our notice. - Patricia Routley

Thanks Patricia-Researching rose related articles in the Argus is time consuming
but is a voyage of discovery.
I must admit that finding 'Quick Sticks' and 'The Ruddy' has been a thrill.

At least 2 newspaper reports did name the rose as "The Ruddy", with a u, not an e. Whilst that could have been an error, it does seem likely that the name was simply a 'working title'.
Ruddy was also a term in common parlance in that era, for florid, crimson red etc.

Ruddy is a color that is often seen with Abyssinian cats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinian_cat
And it gives that cat the distinct wild look.
