I have had this rose a couple years now. She's still pretty small, but made about 10 blooms last year. Does anyone have info to share about pruning?

Only prune to control unwanted growth. It wants to get very large.

Thank you! Do you have any source for Doorenbos Selection? I find it to be a fascinating rose and I'd like it to be mine!

Sorry, I know the name but that's one I've never seen or grown.

Since it seems settled by the many references that one of the seed parents is 'R. Centifolia', could we consider substituting it for 'undisclosed' on the lineage tab?

I came across this in Father Schoener's own publication 'World's Best Roses' 1930.

"ARRELLAGA, HP. Large glowing pink buds and gigantic flowers of vivid pink with a light golden glow. Very fragrant and lasting. Long stems, and the plant blooms with great abundance. Foliage very handsome and healthy. Partly of Rosa Gigantea. $2.00."

I thought the reference to some Gigantea breeding was interesting as it isn't usually quoted in the pedigree. I guess the only room for the Gigantea is in the seedling with Centifolia breeding crossed with 'Mrs John Laing'.

Thank you for the reference. This and other Schoener rose references added from the 1933 Edition.

You're welcome, I noticed there were several Schoener roses not in the database. Thanks for adding them.
He certainly liked very disparate crosses. I can well believe R. gigantea is in 'Arrilaga' going by his other work. Look at 'Pittsburgh' which has similar lines.

"Seedling of Provence Rose" in the seed parent seems strange. Does it really say so in the 1930 catalogue? The combination Frau Karl Druschki/John Laing/R. gigantea in a different version can also be found in 'Pittsburgh'

No, the only mention of its background in the 1930 publication is the reference posted above with the Gigantea breeding.
In his 1922 "general catalog" I find this on page 37:
"Arrillaga, H. T. Seedling of Province Rose X Mrs. John Laing X Frau Karl Druski, clear pink color, very large size of flower, wood and foliage. Should surely do well almost anywhere in the country. A mere garden rose."
No mention of R. gigantea, no bracketing in the parentage, and spelling with an 'i'.

Isn't that strange?

Suddenly I am in love with pink. And have wanted this one for a while. Worried it will not repeat bloom as opinions seem to vary. Does anyone else in a humid, 6a have any info to share?
