Breeder's notes:
Bennett Valley Tree Hugger volunteered in my garden one foot from the base of a Scarlett Oak. It has twined its canes into the tree and is starting to cascade down out of the tree. It is much more floriferous than the many hybrid multiflora seedling volunteers in my garden, and it reblooms in the late summer. Its genetics are a mystery, as I grow many different classes of roses and rarely deadhead.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
