Breeder's notes:
I found this rose growing in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea's most northen region on the equator. It would have to be the most healthy rose that I have seen, considering equatorial rainforrest was growing only 50 metres away, and with temperatures in the 30's, and a constant humidity level of around 80%, 365 days of the year. I was told the original plant was growing on an old U.S. and Australian naval base 20 miles away.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
Distinguish between “Nuigini Pink” and “New Guinea China”.
