This rose appears to be offered by Rogue Valley Roses, but it is labeled as extinct or lost on HMF. Can anybody clarify?

Rose by this name as listed extinct.

I've emailed Janet Inada at RVR asking if this is correct. It should be interesting.

I'll guess there is another unrelated rose going by this name.

No doubt Robert, but it's the only way to correct the information. I hope all is good with you guys!

The one at RVR shows it is also a 1995 Tunningley intro....should be interesting! :)

RVR has to be incorrect. The original specimen was destroyed by Tunningley and was not distributed prior to it's demise.

Kim, did you ever get a response from RVR? Just curious...

Hi Tammy, Janet received the plant in question from Paul Barden. Corresponding with Paul led to his having received it from Robert Rippetoe. A three way between us reached the conclusion that what RVR has as "The Monster" must actually be Secunda, the Old Blush X Gigantea cross. Where RVR obtained their description of the rose they have I wouldn't know, unless it is from HMF, but the only rose Paul received from Robert and then would possibly have forwarded to RVR is Secunda. Avery never let The Monster out of his greenhouse, unfortunately.

Thanks Kim! I didn't see Robert's response below until just now. I thought maybe the Monster had escaped! LOL

This is likely a different "Monster". A new listing is likely needed. I'm verifying with the hybridizer now.

Per an e-mail message received today, A. C. Tunningley assures me he never shared this rose with RVR or others.
The RVR entry cannot be correct per this communication.
Best wishes, Robert
