Thank you. The rose is added. We've changed the date from 2104 to 2014' and changed one of the parents from MACati to MACkati. Was the rose you mentioned MACkati x Deep Secret - 'Blackberry Nip' or a new and separate cross?

Dear Mr. Gray,
I note with interest your article in the 2019 Australian Rose Annual, pages 152-154 on how some of the Brindabella roses are entering the United States market. In particular ‘Brindabella Purple Prince’ being voted the Best New Flowering Plant of Show in Florida. Well done.
However, in light of this, I think it would be of interest if you could at last clarify the parentage of ‘Brindabella Purple Prince’, syn ‘Brindabella Pride’ GRAppl.
You advised us on January 15, 2011 that the parentage for ‘Brindabella Pride’ GRApple was ‘Brindabella Pink Bouquet’ GRAsuper x [‘Old Port’ Mackati x ‘Deep Secret’].
And yet the U.S. Patent 26,364 for GRAppl states the parentage for it was Seedling x GRAsuper - (this pollen parent being ‘Brindabella Pink Bouquet’).
I feel that you may have reversed the parentage in your comment and that it should read
[‘Old Port’ Mackati’ x ‘Deep Secret’] x ‘Brindabella Pink Bouquet’ GRAsuper. Would that be correct?
