Tom Carruth posted this to Instagram with a photo of this rose from their new "mid century planting" at The Huntington Library. "tom_carruth_roses
First bloom on a new plant of this miss-century HT, Thanksgiving. The records show it listed twice. One as a 1963 intro bred by Bill Warriner, with believable parentage. Another as a 1965 intro bred by Arthur Howard, with doubtful parentage but patented. Both were marketed by Howard’s California Flowerland Nursery. Even though Bill was the actual hybridizer, the Howards felt he stepped out of line by claiming himself as the inventor instead of the family name. It led to Bill leaving Howard’s just in time to be snatched up as the main breeder for Jackson & Perkins during their most powerful heyday."
