Cuthbert Grant. Dark red. 15-20 [petals]. 36". Repeat.
A Parkland rose. A suffulta hybrid. Spreading. A nice rose, but very slow growing. Lovely, 4-inch (10 cm) flowers with varying fragrance and purplish red coloration. Expect no more than two good flushes of bloom. Lush glossy, light green foliage, susceptible to black spot. Not as hardy as often claimed, but generally crown hardy. Cover the crown with potting soil and a thick layer of whole leaves in the far north (listed as zone 3 hardy, more likely zone 4).

Correspondence from Henry Marshall to Walter Schowalter:
Thank you for the report on Cuthbert Grant rose. When I saw your article in the Prairie Garden I thought you would be interested in this new variety. I am enclosing the description we prepared for distribution. As you will note, one of its parents was Crimson Glory. This was pollinated with a sibling of Assiniboine and the resulting seedling was crossed to Assiniboine. In the first cross from Crimson Glory care was taken to use a plant that was an actual hybrid. Some non-hybrids are usually obtained from such crosses. While they may be good roses, they could not carry any character of the supposed male parent.
