It is not plausible to be this Cotillion.

I think the wrong Cotillion is stated in the parentage. I imagine that the Cotillion from the same era and breeder is the correct version. Sadly, all of the patents related to this rose are seemingly defunct, so there is no ultimate way to ID the correction version, but it does make sense since it is the only other version, from the same breeder, created before this hybrid was made and of the color/class one would expect for the outcome to be true.

Yes, that makes sense.

Michael, what do you mean by "Sadly, all of the patents related to this rose are seemingly defunct?"

The Cotillion patent states:
"My new bariety of rose plant was produced by my crossing of "Cotillion" (P.P. 2978) as seed parent, with "Suspense" (P.P. 1944) in 1968...."

It's my dumb luck that my browser, Safari, can still open the USPTO links to the patent images on the government website. I use the HMF patent link labeled VIEW USPTO PATENT. Then I open the images in a new tab. They won't open directly in a new page, as they used to, but if I open them in a new tab, there they are...big as life.

Don't know if Safari for Windows works the same way. Maybe it does.

Even using the USPTO quirky search,

I can reach the image page. Plant Patents searches have to must be in the format PP+patent number with enough leading 0's to fill 5 digits, no spaces, e.g., PP03902
