Breeder's notes:
Lemon Splash has a great ground cover habit that was created specifically for small gardens and container gardening. It also works well in hanging baskets and in rock gardens. Lemon Splash could easily qualify as miniature. It is Winter hardy and heat tolerant with the toughness and solid performance of its larger cousins, the Meidilands. Lemon Splash will perform well in any given landscape situation especially in the dry climates of the West.

United States - Patent No: PP 20,635 on 5 Jan 2010 VIEW USPTO PATENTApplication No: 12/285,420 on 3 Oct 2008 The new variety of Rosa hybrida Shrub rose plant was created during May 1998 in France by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was the `Meiranovi` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,385). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the product of the cross of the `Korimro` variety (non-patented in the United States) and the `Meibaltaz` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,449). The `Meiranovi` variety is marketed under the ANTHONY MEILLAND trademark, and the `Korimro` variety is marketed under the IMMENSEE trademark.
