My neighbor has a purple-red shrub, about 2'W x 3'T, and its moderately scented. The blooms like like CG, but everything I read says it blackspots. I live in a heavy blackspot area, but this rose was clean all last summer.

I will take photos this coming summer. Maybe someone more familiar can ID it. Whatever it is, it is pollen fertile, and about 30 seedlings from the pollination germinated last month.


Edit: I figured it out. I brought some foliage home for ID. It is 'Hope for Humanity'. Quite similar!

In the description for this rose is written:
"In September 1998, the Montreal Botanical Garden (Le Jardin Botanique de Montreal) carried out a survey of its roses' resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This is one of the outstanding varieties which showed a 0% to 5% infection rate. The data were taken on well-established roses."

Before this rose is well established, it seems to take some time, or it even fails to settle.
The nurseries have problems delivering good plantmaterial.
I'll see, how the small and unbalanced (regarding the thickness of the pruned canes) two plants will behave next season. The one from this season struggled and died. The plant was the only new rose, that rotted away.

I cannot find it the Glossary, but what does this mean: Hybrid Suffulta?
Mystery is solved: It's Rosa Suffulta!,Or
• Rosa arkansana var. suffulta (Greene) Cockerell
• Rosa pratincola Greene synonym
• Rosa suffulta Greene synonym
Looking at the lineage, only another Rosa Arkansana (Rosa arkansana Porter) is in the tree!
and not R. Suffulta.
How come?
Or should it be named Hybrid Arkansana?
