Percy Wright gave W Schowalter 46 seedlings; this is a selection from these. This is Ross Rambler #1. It is a vigorous shrub with small foliage growing to 2m tall & suckers freely. Semi-double, light pink, 7.5 cm. diameter flowers.

According to Mr. Wright, the staminate parent may have been 'Harison's Hardy'.

Paul Olsen received permission from Walter Schowalter to name this one. It appears under the name 'Alberta Bouquet' at the Devonian Botanic Garden (see correspondence of PO to Margit Schowalter) [Pittao]

However, since the rose is not registered as 'Alberta Bouquet' the RR1 name should be primary. [Pittao]
