Breeder's notes:
This is still a seedling in a large container in my breeding house, so my knowledge of its behaviors is still limited. However, it has shown excellent vigor, good, lasting color, and absolutely zero inclination to Mildew. It also has extraordinary petal texture and sets seed readily. I will be sowing the first seeds from it in Spring 2009 to evaluate its usefulness as a breeder. It has a most interesting pedigree, involving R. bracteata, R. rugosa, and several well known Miniature breeders.
Its Ploidy is unknown, but given its parentage, it is probably a tetraploid.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
