Hello Mrs. Routley, the sterilityt betriften only the Scarlet Fire heat as a mother plant. As a pollen donor it is an extremely fertile rose.
In terms of content, I was concerned that James Mason is more likely to be the result of a reverse cross, i.e. more likely to be Tuscany superb x Scarlet Fire.

Tuscany superb x Scarlet Glow . One of the James Mason ( Scarlet Glow x Tuacany superb ) very similar rose.
Scarlet Glow (Hybrid gallica Kordes) single and large flowering hybrid. Makes very beautiful pear-shaped rosehips. But the nuts are sterile. Over 300 stratified nuts (from different years) have not produced a single seedling in 4 years. Several attempts to crossbreed Scarlet Glow x Tuscany superb have not produced any rose hips.

And yet Pirjo Rautio in Finland had some success with ‘Sonja Marie’ and ‘Viggo’ in 2009, both said to be seedlings of ‘James Mason’.
