That is one of the most beautiful roses I have ever seen, and what an amazing photo!! Your whole series of photos is excellent. I love being able to see the progression of the rose. You have quite a way with a camera as well as rose breeding!!

Hello Nicole,
I just uploaded it to HMF a few minutes ago.
Thank you for your compliments. And yes, it is an amazing photo. I took dozens of photos of this rose last October and just in the last few days I went through them again, as I needed a good photo for Hortico's web-site in E. Canada.

Question: Is Ingrid Bergman off patent yet? I see that it was granted on 8/30/88. I'm not sure how long the patents last. I have read/heard 17 years or 20. Can anyone clear this up?

Mike......... The plant patent law was revised to allow for 20 year plant patents. Smiles, Lyn, helpmefind.com |

The name is also trademarked, making it illegal to sell this rose under that name without paying royalties indefinitely.

I've grown Linville for 3 years, now. A very vigorous, bushy plant of about 3 ft tall, it blooms its head off in fairly quick cycles. I live on the Gulf Coast, and in our very hot, humid climate, Linville acts like 2 different knds of rose, depending on the season. In the hot months, blooms are maybe 1 1/2 in, white with just a hint of pink on the edges of the center petals. In November and December, the blooms are larger to 2 in, and a pale blush pink. Very pretty.
