'Loan Hulse' was the second of the seedlings from this cross to be named. (It is named for Mrs. Mel Hulse) While I have found it to be less than ghenerous with its blooms, I am told it fares much better in SoCal. When it is in flower, the 3" deep red blooms are a sight to behold, with a rich, velvety sheen. The mossing on the buds is also superb. I may incorporate this rose into my breeding work to improve on its floriferousnes.

'Loan Hulse' is not officially available in commerce. However, it is possible that it could be custom Propagated through The Uncommon Rose if you request it.
