'Lac La Nonne' 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.

Parentage:

Rugosa flore pleno × Rosa acicularis Lindl.

Notes:

Parentage unclear. See References. Percy H. Wright reported "presumably Hansa by Rosa acicularis, while another reference describes the parentage as R. rugosa plena x Rosa acicularis. Bugnet himself called this rose Rugabland No. 1, so it is quite possible that the pollen parent was Rosa blanda

Bugnet wrote to Percy Wright that "The ancestry of Lac La Nonne is (R. rugosa, var. kamtchatica x wild native rose) x R. rugosa flora plena."

Correspondence between Bugnet and Percy Wright, found in the University of Saskatchewan library, indicates the Rugosa parent is Rugosa flore plena, and that is the parentage HelpMeFind shows.
