John Ford, Trial Ground Review - Trial 45.
Other roses of note.  Chocolate Ripples (Simstripe). CL. Trial No. 4923. Again striped (cream to orange) and chocolate brown coloured roses don’t appeal to everyone but it is novel to see a rose like this. This small climber has bright green aging to dark green foliage was very healthy. It did not flower greatly after the first flowering but always had something.
