It may be that Tantau used old rose ´La France´ to breed this rose. Don´t you think?

Very unlikely :-) - Since La France to my knowledge is sterile and can not be used for hybridization. But the scent is very similar.

Niels, thank you for that information about La France and your kind comment.

Perhaps La France has lost some of its fertility, if it won't reproduce for you? Helpmefind lists very large numbers of descendants.

Thank you Margaret. Danish Rosarian Valdemar Petersen claimed it was sterile - but looking at the list of descendants surely contradicts this. Not that I want to use it for hybridization myself though :-)

I think Mr. Petersen was reasonably correct.
I count only 11 first generation descendents from 'La France' 1867 using its seed:

Cannes la Coquette 1877
Danmark 1890
Mrs. W.J. Grant <1892
Principessa di Napoli (hybrid perpetual, Lodi/Bonfiglioli, 1897)
France et Russie 1899
Ober-Hofgärtner Franz Joost 1902
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt 1903
Dr. Krüger's La France 1916
John Cook 1917
Silver Beauty 1956.
Morgenluft 1962

The other first generation descendents were using 'La France' pollen, or sports.

Thank you for your reply Patricia - It could indicate that La France, have very low fertility - albeit not totally sterile since he and other hybridizers gave up using it. As much as I appreciate the beauty of many classes of roses - fragrance will always be an important trait I look for in a rose. Tantau have attracted some very good roses, that are both healthy and very fragrant.

父母本都可育,但如果不喜欢末药茴香,需要注意。低温会出现末药。发芽率挺高。

[ed. As per google translate
"Both parents are fertile, but if you don't like fennel, you need to be careful. At low temperatures, the last medicine will appear. The germination rate is quite high."]

Blooms in May / June. While described as a shrub and non-climber, the plant in Sangerhausen is definitely a rambler.

= in Sangerhauser are wrong, they made a mistake (oh, again).
true ´Red Robin´ by Lens is a shrub with red wood and very small flowers,
all 3 pictures here on HMF from Hortus are wrong rose, also all 4 pictures from RainArths

Admin, please, all the pictures from Iacob Adriana are INKA Tantau 2015 - new one. 2015 is important. She is adding pictures to a bad rose, older variety with the same name, same breeder. Please Admin, transport all her pictures to the correct novelty rose. Thank you.

Thanks HonzaPM. I’ve sent her an email. It is probably best if she agrees which rose she has.
