"Dan's Rose" appears to be another unidentified Hybrid Perpetual. Rescued from Holy Trinity Cemetery, Bailey's Bay, it was propagated by Mr. Morris Cooper ("Dan" to his grandchildren). Not widely-grown, as it is difficult to slip, but some of the existing ones are over half a century old! 'La Reine' has been suggested as the possible identity of this rose. In June 1995, "Dan's Rose" produced twin blooms, one each on three separate plants. The receptacles showed a definite fusion and the blooms were also
joined together like Siamese twins, producing a twin hip. It would be interesting to learn if anyone else noted this phenomenon, known as 'twinning', which apparently can occur in more than one place around the world at the same time.

Plate 44. Unknown Hybrid Perpetual. This rose has been in Bermuda for many years. Originally it was called the Cabbage rose but later was misnamed R. centifolia a name by which it is still known to most old timers. Visiting rosarians have agreed that it is an unknown Hybrid Perpetual. It is a slow growing awkward bush with dark green foliage that is very prone to black spot. The very fragrant velvety blooms are produced continually on short stems and are a dark shade of red measuring about 4" across.
