Wow. Not much Golden in that Century. My blooms fade in mid-summer but never to white.

I suspect that is not really Golden Century. It is never that yellow, nor does it fade like that. 'Golden Century' displays a Chinese red reverse when opening, that fades to dark coral/peach. Plus, the bloom form is wrong. That looks more like 'Climbing Jackie' to me, or possibly 'Climbing Rise 'N' Shine'.

From the notes of Walter Schowalter, courtesy of Margit Schowalter:
Tetonkaha - Hybrid rugosa - Hansen
There seems to be half a dozen different forms of this rose in circulation. It seems Dr. Hansen was rather careless about keeping his stock unmixed. Mine was a four foot shrub with semi-double deep rose colored blossoms, produced in July. Very hardy.

Are any of the Tetonkaha roses still out there?

Years ago I sent both Joe Bergersen and the N.E. Hansen Memorial Garden located in South Dakota suckers of 'Yatkan' and 'Tetonkaha'. Whether they survived or not, I don't know. I believe both cultivars are still growing at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden, in Alberta, Canada.

Thank you! Returning to add that South Dakota State University still has Tetonkaha rose as well as Hansen, Alika, Mrs. Mina Lindell, Lilian Gibson, Pax Apollo, Emmadora, Yatkan, and Zitkala roses

Hello, James. Are we certain that Gandy's is selling the polyanthas from the 1950's, newly packaged as "Compacta Roses"? I couldn't tell from checking the website.

Hi Cass,
Check the term "Compacta Roses" in the Help Me Find Glossary on the left of your screen.
C.W. Groves & Son also sells them as "Compacta Roses", and they have nice pictures.
"Compacta Roses" should indicate that Gandy's roses (without the pictures) are the correct polyanthas from the 1950's. 'A picture is worth a thousand words.'.

Hello Cass,
the term Compacte roses ist original from the Breeder who introduced them in the 1950s under this name because they are really diffrent from other miniature-roses
