Roses N.W. hasn't really existed for 20 years. There is still a home there with tons of roses, as it is easily visible from the highway, but there is no business there.

Someone has picked up the ball and a new catalog for Edmund's Roses is in the works according to the website. You could also check with Rogue Valley Roses, an own root nursery in Oregon. |

You might also check the "Buy From" tab for this rose. We list 3 different suppliers. If you find they no longer carry it please let us know so we can update our site.

If you are still around, contact Portland Rose Society and ask them. A member may have cuttings of it.

Here in southern california (Sherman Oaks) my Mel Hulse sulked in the ground, but returned to health and bloom in a large container.

Mine is also sulking quite a bit--to the point where if it doesn't start doing a little better, it's got a date with the shovel. At this rate if I leave it alone it will gradually fade away.
Its parent, Scarlet Moss, did the same thing, unfortunately.

I have had much better luck with Scarlet Moss and its progeny--Mel Hulse and Unconditional Love (a great rose by Paul Barden) in pots and containers than in the ground. In the ground they simply die away; in pots they thrive and bloom with almost no care whatsoever. If no care and concern is the price of great bloom, I am willing to pay it.

The provenance for the cuttings supplied to the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery goes as follows:
I received the plant after a talk given to the Desert Rose Society some years ago; they received the plant/cuttings from Robert Rippetoe who received the plant personally from the hands of Ralph Moore.
Robert has grown both 'Old Blush' and 'Alice Hamilton' side by side and believes that while the plants are similar, they are not identical.

Keep in mind that 'Alice Hamilton' was bred from 'Old Blush'. There is an obvious affinity but there also seem to be differences.
'Alice Hamilton' blossoms seem to have better substance and blush a bit more when exposed to sunlight.

Robert..........
I looked up the lineage for 'Alice Hamilton' which lists 'Parson's Pink China' as the pollen parent. When I checked 'Parson's Pink China', I found that it was a synonym for 'Old Blush'. 'Old Blush' is not mentioned in the REFERENCES, which show other parentages, but my question is:
Would it be more informative to site users to use 'Old Blush' in the HMF lineage on the rose page with a NOTE explaining that 'Parson's Pink China' is a synonym for OB ?

I know the names are synonymous. Perhaps others do not, so I see your point.
It seems to me the parentage should be stated as first supplied by the hybridizer for historical accuracy.
Popularity of names change over time.
IMO, It's up to us as researchers to recognize synonyms.
Best wishes, Robert

Is there some discussion re the veracity of this identification? The early references describe a rose with a large, semi-double, bright velvety crimson bloom.

Billy, whatever I have here, it doesn't match that description. I don't know where Sequoia received it from but looking at posted photos, it seems to be the same as that grown in Europe under the same name.

I think Robert is right regarding the need for researchers to be aware of the various synonyms; however, it seems to me that the service here is for both newbies and pros. At some time we are all newbies--(well, maybe not Robert) and need the additional information not to be misled.

Hi JD...
I agree that the breeder/raiser of a rose should determine which name to use in the lineage of a rose and, if we have the REFERENCES available, that should be what shows on the rose page on HMF. Until we have a REFERENCE that specifically states the parentage with 'Old Blush' as the pollen parent, it might be best to leave it as it stands because the REFERENCES we do have don't report the same lineage.
If someone has a REFERENCE that we can add that is more specific, which I know may be hard to find, we can add it to the database.
Smiles,
Lyn

There is a Nabonnand study group in France that may have access to records.

If you look up the Friends of Nabonnand roses website, you will see that they cannot verify that the rose currently being sold as 'Alice Hamilton' in Europe and the US is the original rose. it certainly does not match the description in the Nabonnand catalogue of 1904, which will shortly be posted on HMF.

For all who knew Jim Delahanty, it is with great sadness I pass the information Jim passed away in his sleep this morning. The Rose World and all who knew and loved him have lost a giant. He was a keen rosarian, a wonderful educator, a great and valued friend who will long be missed.
