Bred in Australia by Frank Riethmuller who lived in Sydney N.S.W.
He was born in Queensland 1885 and died in N.S.W. 1966. He enjoyed the outdoor life,
a lifestyle that was necessary for health reasons.
He was a bookkeeper and studied botany and foreign languages, both proving
useful in his role as an amateur rose breeder. He bred from a number
of German lines, in particular Kordes who marketed his rose 'Titian'.
"Carabella" is quite a tall upright grower, and can be grown on a pillar.
The foliage is light green and there are few prickles.
