(op Benardella 2018)

A full figured orange pink Benardella miniflora that was Code Named Ben-Walrus. It has outstanding form, high and tight centers combined with very good holding power. We project that Queens will be in this gorgeous rose’s future and expect to see it shown in challenge classes as well. Disease resistance is better than many and extremely good with a regular spray program.

Now carried by K&M Roses. Just got one.

Frank Benardella died 2010. The nursery For Love of Roses carries a number of miniatures/minifloras claimed to be by Benardella, bit with later dates, like 8 years later. We are hesitant to add these as Benardella cultivars before receiving some explanation as to their provenance.

On this one, I think you can trust it because the Code name starts "BEN" and Benardella is the only one who could have added that prefix codename to the IRAR registry.
