'Amber Sunset' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Breeder's notes:

New Miniatures and Mini-Floras
By Susan Clingenpeel

Reprinted from the April 2002 edition of the Potomac Rose Society newsletter.

Miniature ‘Amber Sunset’ . This is the third of sister seedlings to be introduced by George Mander. It follows Glowing Amber and Golden Beryl (all three are sister seedlings). The hybridizer held this one so it could compete in the Award of Excellence (AOE) trials. It apparently just missed the award. Like its predecessors, the bush grows low producing mainly solitary blooms of yellow/amber that turn more orange/red in direct sun. Introduced in the US in 2001.

NOTE : By George Mander ,
‘Amber Sunset’ came in # 5 out of 15 entries in the “Award of Excellence” trials.
The first three received the “AOE Award”, so it needed just a few more points to win the award.
I have been told by some who live near ‘AOE’ test gardens, that the plants sent to those six AOE trials were very small. AOE allows to send miniature plants in 5 “ pots.
Had I send minis to those trials I would have grown them on in 5 inch square pots, which have even more volume than round pots ! Then the plants would have had a much better start and possibly a chance to score better.
