I heard that Lynnie is doing well in PNW. Where can I buy it? I've asked some nurseries, yet none of them could provide it. Any information will be much appreciated.

Today I collected a small crop of hips from my cross Therese Bugnet X Lynnie. I'm so excited about this cross! I don't know why but TB has been very poorly fertile in my hands. Lynnie is the first pollen parent that worked on TB. Now hoping for a super hardy, continuous blooming, healthy and fertile seedling!

Lynnie has found it's way (via Bierkreek, Holland) all the way to Finland. Can't comment on performance and hardiness yet. However, I'm using it in breeding to bring repear blooming and disease resistance. Lynnie produces vast amounts of pollen and I'm putting it on everything: Therese Bugnet, Duchesse de Montebello, Charles de Mills, rugosa x spinosissima...

How exciting! Lynnie is also a good seed parent, as long as you emasculate it very early. Basye's Legacy offspring begin shedding their pollen very early, often before the sepals begin to open, exposing petal color. She makes MANY seeds of very good fertility, which germinate quite easily. She will also often pass on nearly to fully total lack of prickles. She will express mossing as well as stripes when used with those types of parents. I have raised many very good seedlings using Lynnie's pollen on Pretty Lady. I harvested seed today from Lynnie using Banksiae lutescens, Basye's 86-3, R. Minutifolia and my 1-72-1Hugonis. I am eager to see the results you obtain from your crosses. Good luck!

Thanks for the info and encouragement, Kim! I was worried about the proneness to self pollination and didn't have enough time to fiddle with the flowers at this point, so I only pollinated a few flowers of Lynnie with Ristinummi, which is a found rose (rugosa X spinosissima). Ristinummi is very vigorous, healthy and hardy and has some repeat-flowering, but is poorly fertile. My goal is a super-hardy, repeat-blooming breeding stock with all those desirable properties of Lynnie. :)

As long as you caught her flowers early enough, Lynnie just might be what you need to accomplish that goal. I've frequently joked "you could pollinate her with dirt!" Good luck!

I live in zone 8a Pacific Northwest (PNW). Lynnie is one of my favorite roses!

Lynnie is a prolific continuous blooming rose. The clusters of long-lasting ruby pink blooms are an enthralling sight. Even after the petals shed, the clusters of buds/hips look lovely. The scent is moderate (an individual variant). The canes are strong, requiring no extra support, despite the bevy of blooms.

Cloudy days and rain are the hallmark of PNW. Highly disease resistant, rain is no deterrent for this hardy rose. Blackspot is fearful of her! :) She thrives even through periods of peek-a-boo sunshine. Lynnie is a dream come true for gardeners in PNW. I highly recommend Lynnie to novice gardeners (like me) and experts alike.

The most important aspects of Lynnie, a HG of roses, is that it brings me joy and peace!

That is truly lovely, thank you! I am thrilled Lynnie performs so well for you and is continuing to uphold her reputation for ease of growth and excellent heath. I am pleased she provides you joy. Thank you for sharing your feelings about "my baby". It is always nice when others appreciate what you see in a seedling.

Dear Kim,

I appreciate your kind words about my review. I am honored to receive a reply from the breeder/hybridizer of the rose!

I stand firm in my stance that Lynnie is the HG of roses. I wish there were more roses like Lynnie. :)

You're welcome. Thank you! Another, along similar lines, is Carlin's Rhythm. Lynnie is named for my favorite aunt. Carlin's Rhythm is named for my eldest nephew's musical ability and his joy at excelling with his tenor sax. Even in today's triple digit heat, the plant scoffs at the extremes. Of course, after a while, the flowers fry as all the others do, but the plant keeps doing what it is supposed to do. Thanks, again.

I am elated to learn that that Lynnie rose has company! I am eager to plant Carlin's Rhythm in my garden. Ooh...my garden is going to glow! Could you please advice me on where I can find the Carlin's Rhythm rose? Thank you for your kind help in this matter.

I remember only a few odd days of blazing heat in the Pacific Northwest. Generally, our summers are pleasant. Winters are long with inadequate sunshine and rain. Oh and did I mention, more rain?

PS: I have two Lynnie roses in my garden. It is a testimony to my love for the rose. :)

Thank you.
