Breeder's notes:
This is a very old-fashioned looking rose, with long arching canes that bloom in clusters of 3-7 at the axils. It blooms prolifically in mid-spring. It is hardy in the Edmonton, Alberta area, and so are its seedlings. Some of its self-pollinated seedlings repeat their bloom throughout the season. In wet weather it does get some blackspot but tolerates it well. It forms many decorative dark orange, vase-shaped hips. The buds may open only partially in rainy weather.
