The date of this pollenation was (approximately) June 29, 1935.

It came into being as a seedling grown from a seed born on a plant, the parents of which were the variety ‘General McArthur’ (pollen) and ‘Dr. W. Van Fleet’ (seed). The pollen parent of my new rose was ‘Break O’Day’.

Ploidy:

Tetraploid

Parentage:

seed:	Dr. W. Van Fleet × General MacArthur

Notes:

References quote the seed pollen parent as General Jacqueminot. The Patent quote it as General MacArthur.
