Pink Altai, Crop Diversification Centre South, Brooks Alberta Canada Rose Garden 2007. I am not certain if this is a seedling or a color variant of Altaica. It has the same growth characteristic. According to W. Schowalter notes it was 7' tall in 1980 at Brooks. His notes indicate he had it growing at his farm in 1965. It is labeled "Pink Altai" at Devonian Botanic Garden and "Pink Altai (seedling)" at Brooks. It is also growing in the late Robert Erskine's old rose garden (2007). The flower is 5 petal, 3", pink, flattened.
