I don't think I can add much to the comments here on this awesome rose but I just posted a killer Gemini bloom in the Photos.

Please note that "Gemini" goes by the name of "St Johns College" in South Africa

Good evening Madame, Monsieur,
First, excuse me for my bad english...
I am interested in the origin of the name of St Johns College. You published a post about it a lot of time ago .... And I come a little late on this discussion ... is it possible to know for which occasion the rose has received the name of this college ? Did the college commission this rose? Was the creator a member of this college?

Merci beaucoup !

Kind regards

Bonjour,

I think that Ludwig's Roses of South Africa named it after the South African school in Johannesburg to commemorate an event.

Not mentioned in the comments here but have read elsewhere.

One of the easiest seed parents to pollinate, not a lot of aborted failures, with a lot of germinating seed (often around 20 seedlings per hip). Possibly a bit of a throwback to it's ancestor Orangeade which is also reportedly easy to breed with.
