We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

I just read the discussion of "Baltimore Belle (Repeat Version)," and was wondering whether anyone who grows the original BB experiences occasional blooms later in the season, as HMF's description notes.

And since BB is a hybrid of a repeat-blooming rose and a once-bloomer, does its spring flush last longer than true once-bloomers? I used to grow Shailer's Provence - which I understand has some China in it - and it bloomed for a much longer period than other once-bloomers.

I'm thinking about growing BB, as I live in Baltimore, MD, but I have a small garden and need to be careful not to get carried away with the once bloomers. Right now, I only grow one - a found rose that I'm fond of.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

According to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation it was William Prince and his son William Rogers Prince of Flushing, New York who hybridized Baltimore Belle. See http://www.twinleaf.org/pdfs/2004/nursery.pdf	REPLY

The link included in the original post seems to be broken now, but anyone interested can currently still find the document here:

However, it does not suggest that 'Baltimore Belle' was hybridized by Prince, which would be entirely at odds with the long written history that firmly credits Samuel Feast as its originator. The only mention of this cultivar in the article states, "He [Prince] paid special attention to hybrids of the prairie rose, Rosa setigera, the most celebrated being the magnificent 'Baltimore Belle'."
