Forms hips, OP seeds germinate easily. OP seedlings seem to be very healthy.

Odd. Your comment dated 2013. I added the reference from the Treloar 2014 catalogue on March 10, 2015. I’ll add the photo from that reference later today. (In this case I don’t think Treloar will mind).
From the code name of PROanca, and the 2006 reference, it seems more than likely that R. macrANtha was one of the parents.

My scanner will NOT co-operate. Can anybody else add this, or another photo of ‘Lemon Lustre’.

None of the photos shown here are the HT 'New Iceberg'. They are all the floribunda/HM of the same name. I have the HT version and if I can save from a steady decline (it's a teriible rose here) I might be able to post a photo of it though it has not flowered for my once in three years. This was a very poor marketting move to name this rose, that struggles to live (must have the four copies of the 'I hate life gene'), 'Iceberg'. Apparently people can't tell the difference between the HT and the floribunda and so I can imagine at least some of the ratings that appear here might also be 'confused' and... if you throw enough mud, sooner or later some of it will start to stick.

The photo posted by asakombu looks to be a florist rose. That one is possibly New Iceberg. As I have never seen it, I cannot verify.

I own this cute rose. Its a very, very dwarf rugosa with dwarf foliage and small blooms in clusters. It makes a 2.5' tall, slowly widening ball (it has short runners) of rugosa cuteness that blooms once in early June. The colors are feminine yet rustic. The hips are probably the most painful in existence. The wither off entirely to nothingness by August. This rose is extremely xeriscape friendly. I water mine but I doubt it needs it. Ive never pruned it. There is no point. I like in ORegon so I am not certain of how it would behave in extreme climates of cold or heat since each parent is either polar/coastal or arid/desert in origin (ie. opposing climates).

It is said to produce hips. Any luck there?

I have seen it produce tiny spiny hips, with nothing inside them. A mature plant produces about 10 of these a year, and its always the same result. I imagine that maybe it could set seed in a desert climate, where it does not rain in the spring season.

Ech... From what you said it sounds like it is darn close MY kind of rose, sans repeat. Maybe if the rose was remade, and hope for a fertile one, or a different rugosa? It would be nice tohave, but I would waste years on it lol :P

Ive actually been trying. Rugosa seedlings can be tricky to work with, and some dont bloom for 3 years from germination.

I know, They can be real sob sometimes. But it is worth it- they are really one of the few truly healthy and happy roses here, especially if the beach floods again.

Look at this! http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.155093
I wonder if there is something in rugosa that does this.
