I’m quite fond of this Rose. It has lovely glossy bright green leaves. It does get some black spot but it quickly sheds it and sends out new growth quickly. The scent is lovely. I’d say medium and sweet. It also sets viable seeds but not many per hip.

It can also mildew badly.

What a fun rose! Bloom looks very pernetiana, plant in the pics appears direct from Scarlet Knight. Interesting lineage! Does this one still exist? Did anyone use it further in breeding?

Amazing.
It never looked good here. I got rid of it.

Robert, you wouldn’t know if it’s fertile, would you? I got one this spring; I might try some crosses, but don’t want to waste my time. There are no descendants listed.

Hi Lee,
Sorry, no I never tried. I don't like using roses with unknown lineages because it's hard to know what direction to take them. It mildewed among other things.
Like most I would assume at least pollen fertile. Then go from there.

Thanks, Robert. I understand concerns of unknown parentage, but I’m of an age where it’s now less about long-term planning, and more about hitting the lottery ;-)

We're both at that age. That's all the more reason to choose wisely! ;-)
