Why is this rose listed as a sport of 'New Dawn' when it is actually a hybrid?

According to "Modern Roses" it is a hybrid between 'V for Victory' and apparently a pollen mix between two sports of 'New Dawn' and 'Copper Glow'. Difficult to say more without having access to the patent.

Doesn't that make 'Lourdes' a hybrid and not a sport?

It is listed as a sport on the 'New Dawn' profile along with 'Probuzení' and 'Weisse New Dawn'. 'Lourdes' is listed as a Hybrid-Tea whilst the other two are sports and listed as Hybrid Wichuranas, like 'New Dawn'.

I am not sure why 'Lourdes' is listed as a sport on the 'New Dawn' profile. It should be a hybrid. Perhaps Admin might like to take a look.

It is interesting because of the discussion about the repeat flowering ability of 'New Dawn'. The two sports of 'New Dawn', 'Probuzení' and 'Weisse New Dawn' only have "Occasional repeat later in the season" whilst 'New Dawn' itself is supposed to, "Blooms in flushes throughout the season".
