Hayden Foulds. Looking Back. Lantern (Maclanter). This one did very well for me but unfortunately succumbed to verticillum wilt almost overnight when it was looking fantastic. Its upright growth habit, while not taking up too much room in the garden, also made it susceptible to wind damage in the famous Manawatu gales.

Octoberfest™ Grandiflora. McGredy 1999... Bright orange and gold tone blooms, measuring about four inches across, change throughout the season on this lovely blend with a perfectly formed bud. The clusters come on long stems for cutting, or if so inclined, you could disbud the sidebuds for that one large bloom... wonderful fragrance...

Gerard Williams. Review of the Newer Roses for the 1999-2000 Season.
Lantern (MAClanter)., McGredy 1996. 'Louise Gardner' x 'Aotearoa'; orange/yellow blend; 12 reports on 15 bushes; 1-3 years; 1.4 metres; 7.5 rating. Upright growth with glossy dark green foliage. Southland says narrow upright growth with shapely blooms on the small side. North Taranaki says excellent blooms, continuous repeat, but some blackspot. Manawatu finds the rose healthy, but it needs a lot of disbudding. Great for picking, but too small for exhibiting. Another Manawatu grower feels that this is one of Sam's best, the rose clusters often, but everything is cuttable and it has a lovely colour. Waikato says good colour and form with regular repeats.
